At the “Data Modernisation: Transforming into an AI-Powered Organisation” panel at Databricks' Data + AI World Tour Singapore event, experts discussed the challenges and strategies for AI-driven data modernisation, focusing on improving processes while maintaining data security. Andy Ta, Director of Data Analytics & AI and Chief Data Officer at Synapxe, shared, “For healthcare, it took us many years to secure the data, but we also need to tap into something that allows for experimentation. Additionally, we should be able to share the data with collaborators and partners so that it can be used at a larger scale to create more value.” Ritchie Ng, Research Scholar at NUS and Head of Data & AI at Eastspring Investments, explained, “First, we optimised all our processes, and then we standardised them. After those, we applied a unified data and AI platform. What happened was that we had a platform where you deployed any algorithm in a single use case, and you could expand it horizontally and vertically.” Vance Ng, Director of Data Science Accelerator at the CPF Board, said, “You may have the perfect system, but it tends to break the people. For us, what we look at is educating our end users in terms of upskilling them, and Databricks have done a great job in terms of lowering the boundaries and the barriers.” Bharathi V., Chief Digital & Information Officer at Suntory, said, “You have to look at your employee in the context of everything they do, and you have to really hone in on exactly what superpower are you uncovering for them?” #artificialintelligence #digitaltransformation
