12:15 PM There Is No AI Without An IA: An Information Architecture for Healthcare Big Data

AI is the defining transformation technology of our time. But, despite all of the hype, history, and potential of AI, adoption remains relatively low. Why? Because while we understand the power of AI, many of us just aren't sure how to fully unleash its potential. The more an organization desires to achieve with AI, the more vital their data infrastructure becomes. The problem is, 81% of business leaders do not understand the data required for AI. And, even if they did, 80% of data is either inaccessible, untrusted, or unanalyzed. * With a unified, prescriptive information architecture, organizations can accelerate their journey to AI and modernize their data architecture to make it ready for an AI and multicloud world.
