As businesses across the globe embrace emerging technologies like generative AI, the role of data in innovation is more critical than ever.

Alex Jenkins, Director of the WADSIH, highlights how innovation in data is driving the adoption of AI technologies, “Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are transforming industries, but the key to unlocking their potential lies in how we leverage data to fuel them.”

With CDAO Perth 2024 Conference, organised by data-driven market intelligence firm Corinium Global Intelligence, in less than two weeks, this year’s event promises to explore some of the most cutting-edge advancements in data, AI, and leadership, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and experts for an immersive one-day experience.

“The CDAO conference is a fantastic opportunity to explore how organisations can optimise data strategies to maximise ROI from AI technologies,” says Alex.

Attendees can expect in-depth discussions on how AI is revolutionising industries, with a focus on the technologies enabling its rapid development and the vital role data plays in this transformation.

Data governance: A cornerstone for responsible AI

Data governance has never been more important as AI takes centre stage in the business landscape.

Effective data governance ensures not only the accuracy and integrity of data but also its responsible use. With stricter regulatory requirements and a growing emphasis on ethical AI, companies need to be more diligent than ever when it comes to data protection.

“Knowing how your data is created, stored, processed and used is the first step in unlocking the value of AI,” says Tim Sondalini, Innovation Lead at WADSIH.

“The responsibility of ensuring that AI is used ethically and transparently rests on strong governance practices. At CDAO, we’ll be discussing how organisations can build these frameworks to support both compliance and innovation.”

Leadership in the age of AI

At a time when AI and data technologies are evolving at a rapid pace, strong leadership is crucial.

The ability to not only comprehend the technological landscape but also inspire teams to embrace it is what sets data leaders apart.

This year’s CDAO Conference will focus on the importance of leadership in navigating these changes. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how forward-thinking leadership can drive technological adoption and ensure data’s role in business success.

According to Alex, “Great leadership in the data space is about more than simply adopting new technologies. It’s about having the vision to integrate them into your business strategy in a way that aligns with your goals while fostering a culture that embraces innovation.”

Don’t Miss the AI Panel

A highlight of the conference will be the AI Panel, featuring Tim Sondalini and other industry experts, who will discuss key topics such as governance, culture, technology, and the costs of AI adoption.

The panel will explore not only the technical challenges of AI but also its impact on talent, culture, and ethical considerations—issues all businesses will need to address in the years ahead.

The CDAO Perth 2024 Conference is set to be a must-attend event for those looking to stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of data and AI.
