Session: Building a solid data culture to empower AI
AI can be used to solve some of the world’s toughest problems - but in order to empower those innovative, forward-thinking AI and ML use cases, embedding a data culture within organisations is mission critical. In this session, Robin will speak about the importance of building a solid data culture within organisations to enable, and scale, the effective use of AI. This involves several key components: building diverse data teams, deploying a modern data architecture, and aligning data strategy with business objectives.
