This Week in Data: Understanding Data Observability

What is data observability (really)? This week’s data discussions have delved into the world of data observability, posing questions about its essence and how it intersects with the strategic planning of generative AI budgets. Notably, insights reveal that a limited number of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) currently allocate substantial resources to generative AI, while Morgan Stanley forecasts a 15 to 20% increase in enterprise adoption within the next three years.

For those contemplating their generative AI budgets for 2024, the implications of these revelations are significant. Engagement through comments and votes in the LinkedIn poll on generative AI has been substantial, indicating a collective interest in shaping the future of AI investments. Attendees at TED AI this week can anticipate a live debate on these topics, featuring Bruno.
