I believe that an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy is key to leveraging AI applications and algorithms to achieve lasting success in the market place. However, an important starting point for any AI Strategy is a clear articulation of the organization’s data acquisition and quality strategy. This includes a clear definition of the data required, how to collect it, where to store the data, how to ensure data quality and security, governance controls and, an understanding of how it will be used!
An organization’s data acquisition and quality strategy needs to be really thought through; not just in terms of what is needed today but what may be required five years, 10 years, 20 years, down the road!
