Lesson Description
This introductory audio discussion lays the groundwork for understanding what data is and why it matters personally and professionally. AI strategist Dr. Ashwin Mehta provides relatable examples and highlights the differences between personal and organisational data. Dr. Mehta also explores key challenges organisations face with data, such as a lack of consolidation and interoperability between different systems, which can prevent a single source of truth. The episode concludes by discussing how AI can be a “force multiplier” for competitive advantage, but only if the underlying data is clean and well-managed.
