Keeping up with AI: The Businessinitiatives AI use is advancing at warp speed,even as enterprise technology leaders wrestlewith foundational questions, starting with whether existing data governance policies Monetizing company data Some CIO Think Tank participants emphasized that they do. "It's just anotheropportunity to say all the existing policies and procedures still apply," said one CIO.Others argued that, while the goals of governance still apply, the manner in which AIuses data necessitates fresh thinking and updated policies. "The business outcomes Meeting compliance requirements Improving the customerexperience Among the challenges facing AI builders is how to set the right business expectations."The AI model life cycle is not like the application life cycle," said Jamil Badrudeen, VPAI and Financial Engineering at financial giant State Street.

That's an excellent starting place while data hygiene efforts are underwayelsewhere. "We started off with 'Where do we have the data? Where can we get the bestresults without having to waste a lot of time on all the data engineering tasks required tomake it acceptable for use in an AI project?'" said Andrew Scott, formerly chief digital Thedata hygiene thing is really bigfor me, because I’mdiscovering how much Another strategy is to lean on current vendors, who may be able to help identify andremediate "raw, redundant, or conflicting" data in specific systems or repositories, Several CIOs expressed confidence that AI itself can spot problems with data and insome cases, even help address underlying process issues as an AI project progresses.This provides another incentive to move ahead with se
