If it seems like literally everyone and their CEO wants to build GenAI products, youre absolutely right. In our latest survey on the state of data reliability, nearly 100% of data leaders said they feel pressure from their own leadership to implement a GenAI strategy or deliver GenAI products. But data leaders understand something thats often lost on most C-Suites: GenAI products are only as valuable as the first-party data that powers it and that data is only as valuable as it is reliable.
