Key insights:
AI is an emerging technology that has the potential to transform various industries, but its true capabilities and impact are still uncertain, and the key thing to remember is the importance of the data that's going in
Data governance, including security, stewardship, ownership, and data quality, is a crucial aspect of effective data management. Are we losing sight of the importance of data governance compared to 5 or 10 years ago?
Data security is not just about hardening and protecting databases, but also about protecting data during transfer and the rest of the process
The experience of managing reference data, and how managing governance and quality is key to the integrity of your data
The importance of liaising with your business leaders to agree standards and get support.
Why IT's role is to educate about data management and data quality, and not to make the decisions
If you're not putting rules or standards or governance around the data you're collecting, you're collecting it for no reason
