EDITOR ’ S QUESTION

CIOs have to be prepared for Data and AI Democratisation – enterprises will start moving towards data democratisation allowing non-specialists to easily access data without requiring specialised tools or skillsets to enhance decision-making and faster access to business insights . This will be coupled by the democratisation of AI tools and platforms .

Data Insights to be delivered at the point of capture – organisations will need to invest more in metadata ( and its management ) to avoid having data swamps and the problem of data scientist teams having to scramble to decipher the contents of their data lakes into business values .
AI will play a major role in this , providing ‘ insights ’ that the business can ‘ action ’ upon in more real-time than previously .
Rise of the ‘ Prompt Engineer ’
The convergence of data management with data
analytics and AI will only continue to rise .
The imperative is clear : enterprises must break free from data siloes , fostering agility .
As data ecosystems transition from traditional deployments to those augmented with AI , the role of ‘ prompt engineers ’ will gain prominence .
These specialists will play a pivotal role in structuring data ( supported by integration and automation ) that can be interpreted and understood by AI , ensuring real-time insights translate into swift , actionable measures . p
This is even more imperative as we continue to look towards embracing industry 4.0 technologies for data insights , leveraging automation , data analytics , and Artificial Intelligence to forge smarter factories .
