AI value starts with data you can trust

AI cannot scale on fragmented, poor-quality or poorly governed data. As organisations move from pilots to production and introduce autonomous agents, leaders need data that is connected, reliable and understood across the enterprise.

Get involved through peer conversations, expert insight from Informatica, events and experiences. Connect with technology and data leaders facing the same challenge, learn what is working and explore how trusted data, strong governance and effective orchestration can move AI confidently from pilot to production.

Upcoming events

Join dedicated Data to AI value conversations and relevant sessions at HotTopics Studio to connect with peers and explore how leaders are building trusted, AI-ready data foundations.

CDO Insights 2026

AI has transitioned from experimental technology to a strategic, transformational imperative.

AI-powered data management

Surging data volumes are overwhelming traditional manual governance models. Transitioning to AI agents establishes "controlled autonomy," where automated virtual workers continuously monitor, classify, and remediate data within human-defined boundaries. This augments data stewards to focus on strategic outcomes while highlighting critical needs for system auditability and explainability.

Confidence Training

Building the semantic data layer for agentic AI

Agentic AI requires semantically explicit, machine-interpretable data to reason and act responsibly. Building a unified semantic layer provides critical business context, drastically boosting model accuracy while eliminating contextual blindness. Open frameworks like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) operationalise this metadata, translating rich organisational context directly for autonomous systems.
