Seems to me the biggest new things are around evaluating model fairness to try and reduce implicit biases. That is what I hear about quite a bit these days. Model explainability is big as well.

For some good thinking on analytics I recommend the podcast taking machines. Neil Lawrence is an incredibly bright guy and a joy to listen to.

This Week in Machine Learning and AI is a good show as well. Bias is a big deal because model interpretability and explainability still has to contend with lots of black box models out there and a few high profile cases like Amazon HR are showcasing a lack of due diligence in model creation and evaluation
