AI is working. Your data probably isn’t. As enterprise AI moves into production, a new constraint shows up fast. Not models. Not compute. Data. In this episode, recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, NetApp’s Tore Sundelin and WWT’s Derek Elbert get into what’s actually slowing teams down. The shift from clean, structured data to messy, high-value, unstructured data that’s harder to find, govern and use in real time. This is where things start to break. Data spread across systems. Inconsistent policies. No clear way to trust what’s being used. And once AI depends on live enterprise data, those gaps don’t stay hidden for long. Because at this stage, AI doesn’t fail at the model. It fails at the data.
