KEYNOTE | Don’t Believe the (GenAI) Hype, You Gotta DATA First: Building an Enterprise Data Strategy to Unlock GenAI Business Value
Written by: CDO Magazine

We’ve all heard it—Generative AI is going to change everything. But here’s the truth: without a rock-solid data foundation, Gen AI is just smoke and mirrors—a shiny user interface with no substance to back it up. Just like the early days of cloud, when we thought we’d found the silver bullet, only to realize it’s still all about the same principles: organization, scalability, security, and ROI.
This keynote isn’t about the hype. It’s about getting back to basics and building a data foundation that actually delivers.
