Building Trust in AI: Insights from the Data Integrity Summit Trust 2024

This week, I attended the Data Integrity Summit Trust 2024, hosted by Precisely in Philadelphia, and it was packed with valuable insights on a critical topic: trust in AI. As AI continues to play a bigger role in businesses, building trust in the data that powers AI has become more important than ever. Here’s what I learned!

Key AI Trends for 2025

One of the standout moments was a panel on AI trends for 2025, moderated by Joshua Rogers, CEO of Precisely. He was joined by Tendü Yogurt?u, PhD (CTO of Precisely) and Dr. Murugan Anandarajan from Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business. They shared findings from the 2025 Outlook: Data Integrity Trends and Insights report, which surveyed over 550 data professionals to explore how companies are preparing for the future.

Here are some of the key insights from the conversation:

• AI Readiness: While many companies are investing in AI, most are still struggling with data issues like quality, integration, and security. This makes it hard to fully trust AI’s results.
• Data Governance: Having a clear governance plan is crucial to avoiding problems like biased data or incorrect outputs. Without strong data management, AI can lead to bad decisions.
• Emerging Technologies: New tech like generative AI is changing industries, but its success depends on the quality and trustworthiness of the data it relies on.

The 2025 Outlook report offers a deeper dive into these trends and shows how businesses can overcome challenges to ensure their data programs are ready for the future. It’s worth checking out!

AI Insights from the former Head of GTM at OpenAI

We also heard from Zack Kass who shared his insights on building a brighter future with AI. Drawing on his experience working at OpenAI and advising companies like Coca-Cola, Boeing, and the White House, Zack emphasized the importance of strategic, responsible AI adoption. His practical approach provided valuable guidance for organizations looking to unlock AI's full potential - this was a session not to be missed!

A Quick Chat with Sanjeev Mohan

After his keynote, I had a quick interview with Sanjeev Mohan, who emphasized that trust in data is key to successful AI. He explained that without reliable data, even the most advanced AI won’t work well. His message was clear: businesses need to get the basics right and make sure their data is ready for AI.

AI Readiness: Are We Ready?

One of the biggest takeaways from the summit was that many businesses are excited about AI, but not many are fully AI-ready. The 2025 Outlook report revealed that companies are still working through basic data issues like integration and security. Becoming AI-ready will take time, but with the right focus on data integrity and governance, it’s achievable!
