AI is only as good as the data behind it. Yet many organizations rush to deploy models without building the foundation of data governance. The result? AI projects that fail, stall, or worse — erode trust.
Gartner predicts that 80% of AI projects will not scale due to poor data practices. Without governance, companies face:
Inconsistent Data: Different departments defining the same metric differently.
Data Silos: Insights locked in systems that don’t communicate.
Compliance Risks: Breaches of GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA.
Strong governance ensures accuracy, lineage, compliance, and accountability. It builds confidence in AI outcomes.
At Vunara Solutions, we treat governance as the prerequisite for AI. We help clients create clear data ownership, stewardship roles, and quality frameworks — turning “data chaos” into data confidence.
