Podcast: Building Trust at Scale Through Smarter Financial Data

Recently Smart Data Foundry CEO Dougie Robb was a guest on the podcast Digital Customer Communications: Regulated with Sam Kendall.

In this conversation, Sam and Dougie discussed:

• What a trusted smart data future might looks like.
• Why representativeness matters more than data volume.
• How consent, governance, and clarity underpin trust and what steps are needed to reduce re-identification risk.
• How AI can support research without increasing risk – and where caution is needed.

From open banking to the wider smart data economy, this is a future-looking discussion about using data to improve financial resilience, public health, and policy decisions - without increasing risk.

Data is not the solution in itself, but it can show where problems are emerging so interventions can land earlier and do more good. Dougie Robb, CEO, Smart Data Foundry
