Who this report is for:

This research is for data and analytics leaders, CIOs, CDOs, and technology executives who are scaling AI adoption and need to understand where their data foundation may be falling short — and what to prioritize to close the gap between AI investment and AI results.

Data & Analytics Leaders

Diagnosing why trust in AI-specific data quality is declining even as overall data confidence rises, and identifying the validation, context, and governance gaps that are undermining AI reliability.

CIOs & CDOs

Making the case for smarter, more targeted data management investment, and deciding which capabilities to prioritize before committing further budget to AI workloads.

Enterprise Architects

Designing a governed, integrated data layer that AI agents can draw on reliably without rebuilding data infrastructure from scratch for every new use case.

AI & Operations Teams

Shifting from supply-side data gathering to the precision, demand-driven approach AI agents need, and learning where data quality issues are most likely to cause failures in practice.
