They break down: Why AI adoption jumped from 48% to 69% in just one year How agentic AI is spreading faster than any enterprise tech before it Why data quality is still the #1 blocker to real AI deployment The risks of “shadow AI” inside organizations What leaders must fix now before AI mistakes hit customers and revenue As AI systems become more persuasive — and more autonomous — the cost of bad data is no longer theoretical.
