How do you understand the true potential of AI? I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sharad Kumar, Field CTO for Data at Qlik, on The Ravit Show at AWS re:Invent. Sharad’s depth of knowledge and passion for data and AI was truly inspiring. We talked about what it really takes to build a strong data foundation and how organizations can overcome challenges to make AI more impactful and trustworthy. Some of the key takeaways for me: • The importance of diverse, accurate, and secure data in driving meaningful AI outcomes • How to address the challenge of fragmented data estates and create a unified data strategy • Why focusing on data readiness is critical for improving AI model trustworthiness and ensuring fairness • How Qlik is helping organizations unlock the value of AI through its data integration and governance solutions Sharad’s experience—from founding Mozaic Data to leading global data transformations at Accenture—brought a unique perspective to the conversation. #data #ai #awsreinvent #awsreinvent2024 #reinvent2024 #qlik #theravitshow
