MDM + AI

Where AI reshapes master data management — and where governed master data is what keeps AI dependable.

A core thread where AI is the subject in its own right, not a background factor — examining how AI reshapes master data management and, in turn, how well-governed master data is what keeps AI from hallucinating on bad records. We cover AI-assisted stewardship, machine-learning matching and profiling, the changing role of human stewards, and how to align AI and MDM roadmaps without falling into the trap of pursuing AI with no data foundation. This is one of the two threads where AI is the central subject, not a background factor.
