Rethinking AI Governance:
Metadata as the key to secure Data-Driven Decisions and ensure AI Compliance

 

The growing use of AI and the rise of the data economy bring major challenges for companies across all industries. Reputational risks, legal issues and complex regulations, such as the EU AI Act, DORA in the financial sector and FINMA circulars, increase the pressure for transparency and secure operation of data-driven applications and AI systems. Data Governance using a Meta-Data based approach enables Business Users to access data as and when they need it, while ensuring compliance and cost reduction.
