Data Quality as the Foundation for AI Success: Lessons from Industrial Implementation Failures and a Quantitative Analysis - August 21 @ Noon

Abstract

Data quality challenges represent the primary barrier to successful AI/ML implementation in industrial settings. Through analysis of high-profile failures - including IBM Watson for Oncology's $4B loss due to training on synthetic rather than real patient data, and a global retailer's $20M forecasting project collapse from fragmented data sources—this session examines the systemic issues that cause 70% of AI projects to fail specifically due to data quality problems.
