Garbage in, garbage out – even Agentic AI can’t save you from yourself.
Artificial intelligence is only as brilliant as the data it’s spoon-fed – and spoiler alert: your data is often trash.
Whether it’s traditional machine learning, generative models, or your shiny new agentic systems, the pattern remains insultingly consistent:
• Bad data? Expect bad decisions.
• Incomplete data? Enjoy half-baked ideas.
• Outdated data? Say hello to irrelevant nonsense.
I often talk about what AI can or tragically still can’t do.
But here’s the real twist: the problem isn’t the system. It’s you. Or more specifically, the glorious mess you call your “data foundation.”
You don’t have a lack of innovation.
You have a lack of clean data structures, maintained knowledge bases, and basic contextual awareness.
And then you expect the AI to magically fill gaps that should never have existed in the first place.
