Learn what it really takes to make substantive AI progress. Tune into this talk to learn the seven tenets of enterprise transformation in the AI era which underscore both the current data situation of many companies and how to leverage this technology for the best results. 

1. Despite the long-standing hype, AI currently only includes natural language processing, not understanding. 
2. To make the best use of the AI, enterprises must build a modern knowledge foundation, i.e., data that’s logically connected, contextualized and extensible with the help of shared, interlinked, symbiotic graph data models. 
3. Organizations can’t be data mature if they’re not in data sharing mode whenever possible or pushing the data sharing envelope. Holding onto data doesn’t make sense if you’re not sharing with the partners who need what that data can provide. 
4. Transformation doesn’t matter if you’re not providing enterprise-wide and even boundary-crossing transparency in the process.
5. It doesn’t make sense to buy “AI products” without having the ability first to feed the AI the best, high quality, relevant, disambiguated data relevant to your business. 
6. Most of the AI software providers out there aren’t focused on helping you solve your data problems.
7. Most enterprises have huge, unresolved data problems. Therefore, most enterprises won’t benefit all that much from AI until they move up the data lifecycle management learning curve.

This talk will explore what effective transformation looks like in the age of AI and provide best practice guidance from organizations in leading industries.
