Everyone Wants Scaled AI. Only 9% Have It

Gartner's data reveals a massive gap: operationalizing AI is the #1 priority for CIOs, but barely one in ten have scaled it. The culprit isn't the technology—it's a broken path from pilot to production. Point solutions pile up without integrating into existing data estates. And each new vendor adds another silo. The fastest path forward is building an intelligence layer on top of what you already own.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Building an intelligence layer that ingests your existing data
  • Understanding how the context layer drives real results
  • Applying techniques that prevent AI mistakes at scale
