Stop Feeding AI Junk: A Systematic Approach to Unstructured Data Ingestion

It’s go-time for enterprise AI. A PagerDuty global survey of 1,000 IT and business executives found that 62% of companies using agentic AI expect a return of 171% on average. But getting to ROI is no easy task. Recent surveys show mixed results on efforts thus far, with “getting strategies right” and “making data ‘AI-ready’” […]

Rethinking (Data) Politics in the Workplace

Most people cringe when they hear the word politics in the workplace. It brings to mind backroom deals, favoritism, turf wars, and decision-making that feels more about power than about progress. In the world of data, politics often gets blamed for blocking change — departments hoarding information, leaders fighting over priorities, and executives struggling to […]

The Good AI: Data Contracts for AI Transparency

“AI is only as trustworthy as the data that fuels it.” This statement has never been more relevant. AI systems now power decisions, affecting credit approvals, medical diagnoses, fraud detection, and countless other critical areas. Yet without transparency into data sources, quality, and lineage, AI can quickly become a black box — opaque, unpredictable, and […]

Strengthening Compliance with Better Data

Compliance today isn’t just about keeping pace with rules and regulations; it’s about keeping pace with culture. Globalization, geopolitical uncertainty, and rapid shifts in technology mean the risks companies face are more complex than ever. Yet too many organizations are still relying on legacy systems, outdated processes, and once-a-year, check-a-box training to protect their people […]

The Book Look: Data Interoperability

Dave Wells is a thought leader and influencer in the world of data. Early on in his role as TDWI education director — in the wild frontier days of data warehousing — he selected some of the data movers and shakers, such as Bill Inmon and Ralph Kimball, to present at world conferences. Dave played […]

LLMs Are Rewriting the Rules of Behavioral Targeting

Marketers missed the real story while they scrambled to rebuild audience targeting without cookies: LLMs weren’t just changing how we write. They were rewriting the rules of how we understand consumer behavior online. The death of the third-party cookie was supposed to kill behavioral targeting. Instead, it’s about to become a lot smarter. The New […]

AI Governance Reaches an Inflection Point

A new survey of 1,250 data governance executives commissioned by OneTrust offers a detailed snapshot of how organizations are grappling with the realities of AI adoption. The findings are clear: Enterprise use of artificial intelligence has surged, but the governance structures required to manage it have not kept pace. As adoption accelerates, governance is no longer optional […]

Building a Data-First Culture

Technology is not what powers a data-first culture, but people, operating models, and disciplined delivery. Most organizations already possess more tools and data than they can effectively utilize. What differentiates the leaders is that they tie analytics to real business results, productize effective data, govern for speed and security, and, most importantly, rewire decisions. While […]

The Next Frontier in Enterprise IT: Agentic AI That Takes Responsibility

Despite years of experimentation, most organizations agree: Artificial intelligence hasn’t remade the enterprise or shattered ROI goals — yet. In fact, McKinsey found that only about 1% of respondents in a recent survey believe they are at artificial intelligence maturity. 80% of respondents in a similar report failed to see a tangible ROI from generative AI.  The data above shows that AI system implementations from […]

Through the Looking Glass: Mahler, Creativity, and AI-Generated Music

It’s been just a few months since I checked off one of the top items on my bucket list. This past May, my wife and I traveled to London and Amsterdam. We built our trip around attending several concerts at the third-ever Gustav Mahler Festival [1]. We’d awoken at 3:30 a.m. back in February to […]

Comparing EU and U.S. State Laws on AI: A Checklist for Proactive Compliance

The global market for artificial intelligence is evolving under two very different legal paradigms. On one side, the European Union has enacted the AI Act, the first comprehensive and enforceable regulatory regime for AI, applicable across all member states and with far-reaching extraterritorial scope. On the other, the United States continues to advance AI oversight primarily at the state level, resulting in a patchwork of rules that vary in focus, definitions, and enforcement…

What Makes Small Businesses’ Data Valuable to Cybercriminals?

While large corporations like Optus, Medibank, and The Iconic often dominate headlines for cybersecurity breaches, the reality is that small businesses are increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals. Many small business owners operate under the dangerous illusion that their business is too small or insignificant to attract the attention of cybercriminals or that they have nothing of value to steal. This mindset often leads to a false sense of security…

Ask a Data Ethicist: How Does the Use of AI Impact People’s Perceptions of You?

Last October, I wrote a column about the use of generative AI in producing a professional service. I pondered the question of whether or not others’ knowledge about the use of AI in producing a professional service – such as legal work, consulting, or creative work – would devalue the service. My hypothesis was that […]

Mind the Gap: Agentic AI and the Risks of Autonomy

The ink is barely dry on generative AI and AI agents, and now we have a new next big thing: agentic AI. Sounds impressive. By the time this article comes out, there’s a good chance that agentic AI will be in the rear-view mirror and we’ll all be chasing after the next new big thing. […]

Why Business-Critical AI Needs to Be Domain-Aware

We stand at a pivotal moment. Generative AI, with its large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, promises to revolutionize how industries operate. We’ve all seen the impressive demos that can summarize articles, write code, or draft marketing copy. But when the stakes are high and an error could lead to a financial […]

Book of the Month: “Rewiring Your Mind for AI”

This month, we’re reviewing “Rewiring Your Mind for AI” by David Wood. In this book, Dr. Wood shows us how to think differently to leverage the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI). The book first sets us up to think in terms of growth mindsets instead of limiting mindsets – starting with some anecdotes about how calculators and […]

Data Governance and CSR: Evolving Together

In a world where every claim your organization makes — about sustainability, equity, or social impact — is scrutinized by regulators, investors, and the public, one truth stands out: Your data has never mattered more. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) isn’t just about good intentions — it is about trustworthy, transparent data that stands up to […]

Tending the Unicorn Farm: A Business Case for Quantum Computing

Welcome to the whimsical wide world of unicorn farming. Talking about quantum computing is a bit like tending to your unicorn farm, in that a lossless chip (at the time of writing) does not exist. So, largely, the realm of quantum computing is just slightly faster than normal compute power. The true parallel nature of […]

The Five Levels Essential to Scaling Your Data Strategy

Scaling your data strategy will inevitably result in winners and losers. Some work out the system to apply in their organization and skillfully tailor it to meet the demands and context of their organization, and some don’t or can’t. It’s something of a game. But how can you position yourself as a winner? Read on […]
