I had a great time chatting with Sam Pierson, Senior Vice President of the Data Business Unit R&D Organization at Qlik, on The Ravit Show at AWS re:Invent! We discussed about the critical role of high-quality data in driving successful AI implementations and the importance of building a strong data foundation. Sam shared valuable insights into reducing errors in foundational models and ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of data inputs for AI. Key topics we discussed: -- Why curated, high-quality data is essential for AI success -- The advantages of a unified data platform in modern ecosystems -- Supporting architectures like data lakes and cloud warehouses -- How reducing vendor lock-in risks ensures greater flexibility for users A great discussion on data quality, governance, and AI. #data #ai #awsreinvent #awsreinvent2024 #reinvent2024 #qlik #theravitshow
