As organizations race to adopt AI, many struggle to move past proof of concept. Gartner predicts that 30% of generative AI (GenAI) projects will be abandoned by the end of 2025 largely due to issues around data readiness, governance, and deployment structure, so let's start there. In fact, as Gartner puts it: "Through 2026, those organizations that don't enable and support their AI use cases through an AI-ready data practice will see over 60% of AI projects fail to deliver on business SLAs and be abandoned."

Inaccurate AI models, biased outcomes, and operational challenges. Put simply, AI's inherent speed, agility, and precision can become liabilities if it's fed flawed data.

When we draw lines within an entity-relationship diagram (ERD) that represent a "relationship," the diagram only shows the exterior presentation. A relates to B in a one-to-many fashion. But what is the actual nature of that A-to-B relationship? Is the relationship one of composition where A is the whole and each B is a part of A? Can any B exist without an A?

As a former teacher, I've seen firsthand that a student is only as good as the curriculum they are given. The same is true for AI. We often talk about AI models as if they're magical tools, but they're really just students, learning from the instruction and data we provide. If we give them a curriculum full of contradictory metrics, scattered data, and ambiguous logic, it's not the student who failed, but a lesson plan that sets them up for failure.
