Can we ever have enough data? AI says no. Aaron Kelly has a more nuanced perspective. In this episode of the Entura Effect, we get an insider's view of all things data and instrumentation from Senior Instrumentation and Communications Engineer Aaron Kelly, drawing on the paper he will present at ANCOLD 2026. Aaron explores why collecting data is only half the challenge, and why data is only valuable if it accurately reflects what's happening on the ground. Drawing on experience from a recent project, Aaron suggests a rigorous and repeatable approach to collecting, validating and analysing the data from a remote monitoring site, ensuring the data collected reflects on-the-ground conditions. With powerful data-crunching AI models increasingly relying on historical datasets, these lessons have never been more important.
