Hitachi Vantara CTO Emphasizes Data's Role in AI Success

Jason Hardy, the CTO for Artificial Intelligence at Hitachi Vantara, talked about how important good data is for AI to work well.

He said that what makes data 'good enough' depends on what you're using it for.

For example, managing a power grid needs very accurate data, but customer service can work with less accuracy.

Companies are now focusing on getting results from AI instead of just experimenting.

Hardy also talked about how AI is moving into the physical world, like robots and self-driving cars.

He thinks India is ready for AI because it's already a digital-first society.

For leaders starting with AI, he advises them to start with small, easy problems and be patient, as AI is more about finding answers than buying a product.
