Many have said data is the new oil – those who produce it, shape it, control it and own it have a distinct power advantage. Information is currency.

It is therefore essential to ensure that the data provided to AI systems is accurate, relevant and complies with regulatory requirements. Additionally, robust access controls and encryption mechanisms must be implemented to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access.
We are still in the early chapters of this emerging technology, but companies that stay ahead of the curve (prudently and knowledgeably) will be positioned for continued advantage.
