About the Webinar
The “garbage in, garbage out” rule has never been more critical. Artificial
intelligence is only as smart as the signals it receives.
This session will examine the infrastructure and information required to fuel
reliable AI, as well as the shift from simply collecting big data to cultivating
good data.
The conversation will explore how organizations can reduce digital hallucinations,
improve the quality of their AI outputs, and create a solid data foundation for
smarter decision-making.
Program Format
Fireside chat followed by audience Q&A.
