ASSESSING INFRASTRUCTURE, DATA QUALITY AND INTEGRATIONS FOR AI IMPLEMENTATION

AI is only as effective as the data it processes. Poor data quality or incompatible systems can derail AI projects before they even start, and add unforeseen costs into your business case.

​

Ensuring high-quality data is foundational for AI success. However, many organisations struggle with data that is inconsistent, siloed, or unstructured, leading to unreliable AI models. ​In short - crap in, crap out. With trust being one the biggest blockers to employee adoption of AI tools, its important that data is is fixed upfront as one too many inaccurate results will result in a total loss of confidence. 

As with all technology implementations the new shiny toys need to play nicely with the older ones. Existing infrastructure may not be equipped to handle the demands of AI workloads, necessitating significant upgrades in data storage, processing capabilities, and network architectures, and for AI to create real value it needs to seamlessly integrate with systems and processes, requiring engagement with process owners and impacted system owners

Experimenting with AI models and evaluating the outputs will be critical to understanding how your data is performing, and significant investment could be required to bring data up to scratch to ensure output is accurate and trustworthy.

Alongside considering what goes into your AI model, we need to consider the people who will be consuming it in Business Readiness​​​
