Getting the basics right before exploring Artificial Intelligence projects is the key message from my guest for this episode.Santosh Kaveti is the CEO and Founder of ProArch, a purpose-driven enterprise that accelerates value and increases resilience for its clients with consulting and technology services, enabled by cloud, guided by data, fueled by apps, and secured by design.His pro tip? First, get your data sorted - classification, access, governance etc.  Without this, you could be putting your organisation in harm's way and in this day and age, there is no excuse for not understanding the data you collect, what you do with it, how you manage, store and dispose of it.Once you have your data 'housekeeping' right, you can explore the amazing possibilities of AI confident in the knowledge that you won't be exposing confidential or personally identifiable information (PII) inadvertently. Santosh shares his vast experience in this space - I know you will enjoy listening as much as I did talking to him. Send us a textContact ABM Risk Partnership to optimise your risk management approach: email us: [email protected] Tweet us at @4RiskCme Visit our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/18394064/admin/ Thanks for listening to the show and please keep your guest suggestions coming!
