Talk Title: The future of Gravitational Wave inference - problems to solve over the next few years

Abstract: I will discuss the current state of gravitational wave inference, highlighting both its many successes and where the methods and assumptions of today can fail us. As the gravitational wave data will increase in fidelity over the next few years, a new set of hurdles will rise for which I will describe a plan forward allowing us deeper exploration of the Universe and ensuring the continued success of gravitational wave astrophysics.
