Embracing Data Regulations. Data-related regulations are catching up with advancements in different fields quite commendably in some parts of the world. While some regulations are imposed to foster interoperability and data sharing, others are brought in to promote data security and fundamental values such as fairness and democratizing access to data within larger ecosystems. Having driven data management initiatives within FinTech and Automotive, I gather that the way different domains handle data-related regulations is quite different.
From Raw Data to Strategic Insights: The Power of Data Products. Data truly powers everything we do. In a world driven by data, the quality and management of data are crucial for unlocking its value. “Data is the new oil,” we’ve all heard, and it’s true—data has become a currency of value. Organizations now rely on data not just to optimize operations, but to drive impactful outcomes. Central to this value creation are data products. They outline best practices in delivering and managing data, and mastering their utilization is essential to maximizing the value that data can provide.
Why Your Data Strategy is Key to Unlocking AI-Driven Insights. To truly unleash the potential of AI, a solid data strategy is key. When organizations strategically align their data, they can leverage AI tools to generate actionable insights. This, in turn, positions them to make informed decisions that drive their competitive advantage. In this article, we explore how breaking down data silos, navigating data complexities, and adopting a unified data strategy can transform raw data into a strategic asset. Discover how an integrated data approach sharpens decision-making and positions your organization for success in a world driven by AI!
Untapped Business Value: Why Significant Portion of Data Remains Unused. The exponential growth of global data generation is undeniable. Every day, we exchange 350 billion emails and conduct 8.5 billion searches on Google alone. Data is fuel for innovation, operational efficiency, and exceptional customer service. Despite the recognition of data’s value, a significant portion remains untapped within organizations. This limits the full potential of data infrastructure investments, as many employees struggle to understand how to access and use existing data.
The Role of Explainability in AI Regulatory Frameworks. As attention around AI has grown, so have concerns about its potential downsides. The “black box” is one of the most prominent of these issues, especially when it comes to emerging AI regulations. When users can’t be sure how a model arrived at a specific decision, it’s difficult to trust it. Regulatory frameworks around AI are still few and far between. In many cases, it’s up to specific developers to determine what they deem ethical and fair. At the same time, lawmakers have taken a rising interest in this technology. Legal requirements concerning AI are almost certain to emerge, so devs must focus on building compliant — which often means explainable — AI.
