	<description><![CDATA[In the fifth and last episode in the Interoperability series, we zero in on what sustainable technology actually means.  
After a prototype or dashboard is built and a program ends, what happens to the technology? Interoperability adds a new layer of complexity to this question. Connecting data and systems requires sustained investment in infrastructure, storage, hardware, software, and human capacity – often across multiple systems at once. A vulnerability in one system can impact the whole ecosystem. This episode discusses what we need to be thinking about to build technology that lasts. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In Episode 4 of Season 4 of the Data…for What?! Podcast, we turn to the growing intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and interoperability.
As AI becomes increasingly embedded in public and private systems, the ability for data and technologies to work together – and to generate high-quality, usable training data – is more critical than ever. But these opportunities come with real trade-offs. This episode explores how choices around data storage, technical infrastructure, and system design shape access, scale, and the protection of citizens’ data rights.
We’re joined by Jesse Wright, Project Lead for the Solid Project at the Open Data Institute, and Fernando Ferreyra, Director of Software Development at Development Gateway: An IREX Venture. Together, they unpack the geopolitical, legal, and technical implications of where data lives, and what it takes to build sustainable, interoperable, and future-proof AI-enabled systems.
