From Buzzword to Real Business Impact

Artificial Intelligence & Generative AI

AI Readiness with Data Intensity

Is AI Simply a Buzzword?

Data Intensity has spent the last few years speaking to experts, delving into real use cases for the technology, and examining the risks and business impacts to help our clients maximize the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI), and Machine Learning (ML),  by applying these technologies to their existing applications or using their data to gather insights. AI is no longer a futuristic possibility, but a business game-changer.

 

The Precipice of Transformation

When it comes to AI’s impact, Jen Stave of Harvard’s D3 Institute says, “we’re on the precipice of a major transformation… it’s going to be bigger than the internet, bigger than electricity.” Data Intensity is helping our clients enable AI technologies to:

Enable or Increase Automation

Reduce labor costs, free up employees to focus on more valuable projects, or offload repetitive tasks

Improve Decision-Making

Identify patterns and trends not easily detected by humans, reduce the risk of errors, get faster analysis of potential outcomes

Create Tailored Customer Service Interactions

Quickly determine customer preferences, behaviors, and needs, to better tailor your products and services offerings

Sample challenges our customers have asked us to solve:

“We’d like to present custom, automated itineraries that don’t require timely human review.”

“Can we automate patient chart reviews to flag potential diseases based on emerging medical research up to our nurses?”

“We want to offer more-relevant, customized product recommendations to increase add-on sales.”

"Can we use AI on our manufacturing line to improve accessibility to technical data or to facilitate task guidance?"

"We need to further optimize our logistics operations. How can AI help?"

"We'd like to know if AI can help train and automate performance reviews of our large workforce."

Solutions to challenges such as the above are just the beginning.
Businesses need to dream big – but start at the beginning, with data.

If Your Data Isn’t AI-ready,
Your AI Project Will Fail

The success of an AI project rests on the quality of the data behind it. Gartner and Capgemini recently released sobering statistics, including:

  • Though 2026, organizations will abandon 60% of AI projects unsupported by AI-ready data (Source)
  • 83% of business leaders plan to increase investments in digital tools and technologies such as AI (Source)
  • 63% of organizations either do not have, or are unsure if they have, the right data management practices for AI (Source)

Also of note: it’s important to differentiate between AI-ready data requirements and traditional data management; standard data management operations are too slow and too structured for AI projects. Do you have AI data management plans in place?
