Why your AI “shiny objects” don't always scale, according to Deloitte

As organizations rush to implement AI, they face a significant challenge: the quality of their AI systems heavily depends on the integrity of their data, which is often compromised by redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data. Mike Carlino from Deloitte highlights that around 40% to 50% of enterprise information is ROT, resulting from poor information-sharing practices and inadequate data governance. This data quality issue, known as "Garbage In, Garbage Out" (GIGO), can hinder AI initiatives, turning promising AI pilots into failures when scaled to production. To overcome this, enterprises must establish robust data governance frameworks, centralize content management, and ensure clear data categorization and integration. Industries like financial services, which deal with structured data, have an advantage in applying AI effectively, whereas others must work harder to clean their data and implement governance to achieve reliable AI outcomes. The key to success lies in starting with controlled, predictable data flows and committing to ongoing data management and governance.
