The Compliance Digest by the Association of Governance Risk and Compliance (AGRC) has just published Oliver's latest article on "The Walls Within: Why Organizations Cling to Data Silos in the Age of AI"
This article looks into why organizations are hesitant to fully embrace AI due to the creation and maintenance of data silos. This isn't a sign of technological backwardness, but a complex strategy influenced by security concerns, competitive advantages, and legal compliance. Protecting sensitive data, maintaining control, and ensuring data quality are key reasons for keeping data separate. To unlock AI's full potential, organizations must find innovative ways to balance data security and collaboration, exploring solutions like data masking, federated learning, and robust data governance.
