Centralized governance unifies the policies, processes, and controls that an enterprise uses to ensure the quality, privacy, fairness, consistency, and security of data, machine learning models, and other key ingredients of AI applications. It creates a unified platform for managing these assets across different departments, platforms, and applications. This expert panel will discuss why enterprises should centralize data, analytics, and AI governance; what metrics they should apply to assess the success of these initiatives; and what challenges they might face on the road to centralized governance.
This TDWI Expert Panel webinar will focus on the following topics:
- The need for data, analytics, and AI governance
- Organizational models: which is best?
- How automated tools can be used effectively for governance, and who should use them
- Overcoming challenges and best practices for success
