Further information

Smart early adopters are extending their governance programs to validate and control the multi-structured data that drives modern AI initiatives. By delivering clean inputs to these powerful models, enterprises can capture the upside of AI while mitigating the downside. This is, of course, easier said than done.

This webinar explains why and how data governance drives exceptional AI, from traditional machine learning to the latest GenAI language models. We define the must-have characteristics of a data governance program, then examine their impact on AI outputs. We also define the roles, practices and tools that comprise an effective data governance program to support AI innovation. Chief data officers and other data leaders that join our discussion will learn practical steps to achieve good inputs, great outputs and exceptional AI results.
