Generative AI doesn’t eliminate the need for high-quality data sets. Curated proprietary data sets are more valuable than ever.
We have terabytes of data with near 0 value. we will miss out on the returns that Generative AI can deliver and fall even further behind.
The 0 ROI all comes down to data engineering. Leaders don’t understand the business purpose of data and models and “technology” either doesn’t understand it, or doesn’t want to do any work. Another trip to Mexico maybe?
The businesses are hobbled by people that force them to spend most of their time discovering, transforming, and moving data around the business.
Until business leaders force an answer to this question, data and AI will be cost centers, not value generators.
