From AI Ambition to Action — Data-Driven Leadership
Hosted by Dataiku
CIOs are at the forefront of transforming organisational cultures to be data-driven, harnessing the power of data and analytics, and realising the true value of AI. As agentic AI climbs to the top of board agendas, the challenge lies in moving from ambition to execution. Enterprises frequently encounter difficulties in scaling AI beyond initial proofs of concept, making it essential to revisit core discussions on AI scalability and data governance.
Join this town hall to:
- Understand the data prerequisites for scaling AI in enterprise environments
- Address common barriers like fragmented IT architectures, a lack of talent and employee knowledge gaps
- Prioritise robust data governance and quality to ensure successful AI implementation
