A new study reveals a glaring gap in corporate AI adoption: 42% of companies don’t trust their AI models’ outputs, yet only 58% have proper data observability systems in place. The findings, from data management firm Ataccama, suggest that unreliable AI performance may stem from unstructured, unmonitored data—not flawed algorithms. The Trust Problem Many businesses treat data oversight as an afterthought, applying observability tools reactively rather than proactively. This leads to fragmented governance, with siloed or low-quality data undermining AI reliability. As Ataccama CPO Jay Limburn notes, companies have “invested in tools but haven’t operationalized trust.” Effective programs require automated checks embedded across the entire data pipeline—from ingestion to…

Google’s long-term ambitions for Gemini are becoming clearer, as the company moves toward transforming it into an AI system capable of deeply understanding and interacting with the world in a human-like manner. In a recent update shared by DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Google outlined its strategic direction for Gemini, particularly its Pro 2.5 version. The ultimate goal? To create a “universal AI” system that serves as a dynamic, adaptable assistant in everyday life. Central to this vision is the development of a “world model” — a concept involving the AI’s ability to interpret, predict, and even imagine aspects of the…
