Having the right data foundation is a fundamental building block for helping your organization get the most out of AI. What does that entail? We define it as identifying, prioritizing, and organizing the proprietary datasets that hold the most promise to drive value for your customers and efficiency for your business.
Looking at your company’s data foundation through that lens, do you have the right data foundation in place today? Is your data accurate, accessible, and secure? And what other questions should executives be asking of your technology leaders to ensure you have the right data foundation in place for this transformational moment?
Episode 7 of AI Knowhow centers around the importance of setting a solid data foundation from which to build your AI efforts.
