Key Announcements
Ready Your Data for AI
Presented by Gleb Zhukov, Director Analyst, Gartner
To get the most from AI, assurance leaders must understand the data requirements for each use case before implementation. In this session, Gleb Zhukov, Director Analyst at Gartner, explained how to define the data required for priority use cases, assess whether existing data is usable and accessible, and determine the resources needed to close any gaps.
Key Takeaways
- Poor-quality data can be amplified by AI, producing unreliable results at greater speed and scale.
- Assurance leaders should begin with a priority AI use case and identify the data it requires. Different applications, such as fraud detection, AI-assisted data analysis and self-service chatbots, rely on different AI techniques and types of data
- Most assurance teams do not lack data, but they may lack data that is usable for AI.
- Leaders should establish what data they have, where it is stored, whether it can be accessed and whether its quality makes it suitable for the intended use.
- The cost of preparing data depends on the people, tools and effort required. A relatively simple project may involve an internal team cleaning data from one source, while a more complex use case may require data scientists, specialist tools and continuously updated data from multiple systems.
