Earlier this week, the Inpute team traveled to Manchester to attend the highly anticipated AI+IM Forum Europe, held at The Midland Hotel on November 11–12, 2024. This year’s event focused on how advancements in information management are fuelling the growth of AI and automation.
AI+IM Forum Europe showcased how effective information management can shape the future of AI, providing an array of knowledge and networking opportunities for data-driven professionals from across Europe.
Here are some key takeaways:
- Unstructured data plays a crucial role in training models and generating prompts, making it vital for AI's success. Information management involves organising, safeguarding, and optimising unstructured data to ensure it is effectively utilised in AI applications.
- Compliance continues to be a primary driver for investment in information management, but it's clear that the landscape is evolving. Many organisations are now planning to increase their focus on unstructured data management.
- AI will fall short of delivering its anticipated outcomes if companies do not eliminate information silos. Breaking down these barriers enables employees to access and integrate data from both structured and unstructured sources, providing a complete, accurate, and up-to-date view for better decision-making.
- Success with AI depends on:
- Implementing enterprise-wide automation to support AI initiatives.
- Adopting a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to optimising workflows.
- Utilising process mining to identify opportunities for AI-driven enhancements.
- Modernising or digitising paper-based processes to improve efficiency and adaptability.
