Gandhi notes that most clients face three major tactical challenges: dataset, skillset, and mindset. The big strategic obstacle is prioritization and lack of a sense of urgency with respect to AI and data. Most AI projects die even before they can potentially take shape due to businesses’ failure to proactively collect, store, process, and maintain their data. Even with large investments in data warehouses and data lakes, CIOs face a huge struggle. In addition, the iterative nature of AI products and projects makes it a lot harder to predict success and ROI. This uncertainty makes it imperative for companies to push toward developing an iterative mindset.
