Hosted by Jackie Cutrone, CMO of NewtonX, this conversation with Jacqueline Woods, CMO of Teradata, delves into strategies for fostering trust in AI and integrating Trusted AI across organizations. Featuring findings from Teradata and NewtonX’s Trusted AI in the C-Suite research, Jacqueline and Jackie discuss how AI is changing how decisions are made at the top, improving customer experiences, and building trust through transparency.

“I love that I found NewtonX… We did that with our first research project with NewtonX in 2021, about our brand. How did people experience Teradata? What made them want to do more business with us? What made them want to do less? What were the key business drivers? NewtonX really helped us understand core market drivers… Just picking a partner that helps you evaluate your brand and pinpoint the KPIs you should be measuring is critical.”
