AI is transforming data teams
That's clear in our survey of 201 enterprise data, AI, and analytics leaders, where 86% say AI has fundamentally changed their team's core responsibilities.
But despite high AI use in data and analytics, business impact is still shallow and an overwhelming lack of trust is stunting scale. In fact, less than 20% of surveyed leaders are fully confident in their AI-generated answers, and only 7% have scaled to enterprise-wide adoption.
By analyzing the data and reading stories from leaders at Cisco, Arm, and Property Finder, you’ll learn what it takes to beat the trend and turn AI transformation into real business impact.
"If your set of questions is ever-growing, how do you provide relevant context at scale? That's a very hard problem to solve."
