Dataiku: Will AI Finally Democratise Data?

Multiple attempts to create value from data have been labelled “democratisation”: business intelligence in the 1990s, self-service analytics in the 2000s, and (citizen) data science in the 2010s. Yet progress on their common goal, putting more hands on data outside central teams, has been wildly uneven. So what would make things different this time? Can AI help us escape the paradox of so-called structured data remaining impenetrable to domain experts? And how can data leaders avoid being left behind as business teams embrace AI faster than central teams can govern it?
