Everyone wants to talk about AI models, but most enterprise AI projects succeed or fail because of the data underneath them. In this episode, Abhas Ricky, Chief Business Officer at Cloudera, joins Jeff Denworth, co-founder of VAST Data, to explain why getting the right data to the right place at the right time is still the hardest problem in AI. They discuss how enterprise infrastructure has changed since the Hadoop era, why keeping GPUs busy requires much more than fast storage, and how companies are bringing together data, governance, metadata, and AI into a single architecture that can support real production workloads instead of impressive demos.
