Generative AI is ushering in a new era of innovation, creativity and productivity. Just 18 months after it entered mainstream conversations, companies everywhere are investing in GenAI to transform their organizations. Enterprises are realizing that their data is central to delivering a high-quality GenAI experience for their users. The urgent question among business leaders now is: What’s the best and fastest way to do that? With siloed data and AI platforms, it’s difficult for teams to accelerate their GenAI projects — whether they are using natural language to ask questions of their data or are building intelligent apps with their data. We believe that data intelligence platforms will result in radical democratization across organizations. This new category of data platforms uses GenAI to more easily secure and leverage data, and lower the technical bar to create value from it. Among our own customers, there’s already a clear acceleration of AI adoption. The State of Data + AI report provides a snapshot of how organizations are prioritizing data and AI initiatives.
