Do you have enough data? Do you know the provenance and lineage?

There are many proposed metrics to assure the data is ready, but have you considered that AI processes are not equal or even similar in many cases? AI-ready data is not about metrics and provenance as a standalone assessment.

Beyer (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst, and Svetlana Sicular (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst dive into the new and pressing topic of AI-ready data. Find out how context, use case and ongoing specific assessment of your data differs based upon how, when, why and for what purposes it is being used.

Discussion Topics:

• Determine the strategy and operations behind AI-ready data
