The C-suites View: Accelerating AI through Data Modernisation

The introduction of ChatGPT, Bard and other Generative AI tools like Microsoft’s CoPilot has put AI firmly on the boardroom agenda.

 

CEOs are asking IT departments what AI can do for the business, CFOs are curious about efficiency gains, while CIOs, CTOs and Chief Data Officers are now charged with managing the rising expectations of colleagues while putting the governance guardrails around these fledgling technologies. Some organisations have even hired their first Chief AI Officers.

 

In the face of such hype, data ingestion and governance have become critical to harnessing value from AI systems. For many organisations, their data today remains locked and underutilised in siloed, legacy, heterogeneous operational data stores, resulting in a data mess scattered across a myriad of applications, systems and databases. 

 

Getting the data foundations right, which starts with a holistic, organisation-wide data strategy and moving towards an IT infrastructure that supports high-performance, low-latency, available data, mark an important first step to moving away from ‘garbage in, garbage out’ and towards turning AI into genuine, real-time business insights. After all, without trustworthy, up-to-date data, AI is useless.

 

Here's what you can expect:

  1. Engaging insights led by top technology executives and industry luminaries, focusing on the latest data streaming trends.
  2. Real-life stories of how to tackle modern data challenges.
  3. Networking: A private viewing of The Crown Jewels - a magnificent world-famous collection of the Royal Collection.
  4. VIP dinner: A VIP dinner in a cherished London landmark.
  5. A complimentary pass to Kafka Summit: Access to additional valuable content and networking opportunities over two days.
