According to tech industry prognosticators, 2024 was set to be a banner year for generative AI. Real use cases were emerging, new technology was reducing barriers to entry, and artificial general intelligence was right around the corner. But is that really how things played out? Well, sort of. If 2024 were the year of generative AI, 2025 would be the year of setting reasonable expectations.

Barr Moses·Follow3 min read·--Before last week, Dr. Allan Lichtman had accurately forecasted 9 of the last 10 U.S. presidential elections. Heralded as the Nostradamus of polling, Lichtman has become something of a national celebrity over the past few decades with his 13 Keys to the White House, a model he built in 1981 with famed geophysicist Vladimir Kellis-Brook that applies quantitative methods to predict the outcome of popular elections.

Barr Moses·Follow3 min read·--Over the last 12 months, data quality has become THE problem to solve for enterprise data teams — and unsurprisingly, AI is driving the charge. As more enterprise teams look to AI as their strategic differentiator, the risks associated with bad data become exponentially greater. At the speed and scale of modern data environments, data teams need advanced data quality methods that can rise to meet these challenges.

Show me your data quality scorecard and I’ll tell you whether you will be successful a year from now. Every day I talk to organizations ready to dedicate a tremendous amount of time and resources towards data quality initiatives doomed to fail. It’s no revelation that incentives and KPIs drive good behavior. Sales compensation plans are scrutinized so closely that they often rise to the topic of board meetings. What if we gave the same attention to data quality scorecards?

Data quality monitoring. Data testing. Data observability. Say that five times fast. Are they different words for the same thing? Unique approaches to the same problem? Something else entirely? And more importantly-do you really need all three? Like everything in data engineering, data quality management is evolving at lightning speed. The meteoric rise of data and AI in the enterprise has made data quality a zero day risk for modern businesses-and THE problem to solve for data teams.

When it comes to the technology race, moving quickly has always been the hallmark of future success. Unfortunately, moving too quickly also means we can risk overlooking the hazards waiting in the wings. It’s a tale as old as time. One minute you’re sequencing prehistoric mosquito genes, the next minute you’re opening a dinosaur theme park and designing the world’s first failed hyperloop (but certainly not the last). When it comes to GenAI, life imitates art.
