The AI Journey & the Role of the Data Office

 

The Data Office is at a critical juncture. Our inaugural report reveals that while AI has moved from a "lab experiment" to a top-down strategic imperative, the CDO is often left with the risk but without the budget. Based on qualitative interviews with leaders at firms managing over $7 Trillion in AUM, this report provides the roadmap to bridge the gap.

 

Key Benchmarks Inside:

 

  • The Governance Gap: Why firms are struggling to adapt deterministic data governance for probabilistic AI systems (LLMs), and the frameworks leading firms are using.
  • The "Efficiency Trap": 65% of current AI use cases are focused on internal efficiency—see the roadmap for moving into the 12% of revenue-generating leaders.
  • The New Tech Stack: How practitioners are adopting RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and proprietary Vector Stores to combat model hallucination and ensure data integrity.
