Do CIOs Fear Artificial Intelligence?
Many CIOs are excited about what’s coming next. Passionate about using technology to move their companies to the next level, tech leaders tend to approach most new tools and applications with an open mind. A recent piece in CIO magazine digs into the subject of Artificial Intelligence and offers some tips and rules for dealing with data-centric AI.
Author Andrew P. Ayres says, “Data-centric AI is evolving and should include relevant data management disciplines, techniques, and skills, such as data quality, data integration, and data governance, which are foundational capabilities for scaling AI.” He also holds up Novartis as a great example of an organization that is “leveraging an ecosystem of AI-centric data management tools that combine both traditional and new capabilities to prepare the enterprise for success in the era of decision intelligence.”
He further explains that to take full advantage of the next wave of tech, data must be:
- Well understood and well organized
- Continually analyzed for relevance and cleansed
- Sensibly located where it can add the most value and be accessed in a frictionless, cost-effective way
- Carefully selected to drive the optimal business outcomes
- Tightly governed and regulated such that it is compliant and ethically sound
