GENERATIVE AI
A crisis of quality and access The data shortage isn’ t just about volume, but is about usability. Iain’ s team recently studied government data readiness across multiple departments and found that only 32 % meets the standards required for AI development. This mirrors challenges across industries, where organisations discover that simply having data doesn’ t mean having useful data.
Consider the typical enterprise scenario: customer information scattered across CRM systems, transaction data locked in legacy databases, and operational metrics trapped in departmental silos. Each dataset tells part of the story, but regulatory barriers, technical incompatibilities and privacy concerns prevent organisations from creating the comprehensive view needed for effective AI training.
“ Real-world data, the data we have access to in organisations... might not be good enough,” Iain explained.“ The quality of it, the veracity of it, the availability of it – given that it’ s all siloed in systems, it may have sensitive information in it.” healthcare-digital. com 95
