Building Trusted AI: Data Consistency, Governance & Information Quality
·OnlineOnlineAI is only as trustworthy as the data behind it. Inconsistent pipelines, fragmented governance, and poor data quality are why many enterprise AI efforts fall short. The problem is rarely the model.

He’ll cover how to keep data consistent across distributed systems, how to set up governance that scales, and how to improve quality at the source.
