Data Wars: Challenges for Enterprise AI

When Salesforce quietly announced new limits on enterprise Slack data, it went largely unnoticed. However, this marks the beginning of a battle that will determine AI's potential to revolutionize business.

The promise of AI can only be realized with a complete, unified view of all context. Businesses need 100% access to chats, meetings, projects, and files to enhance productivity. Emerging data restrictions will hinder this progress.

The new Slack limits disrupt team decision-making and productivity. Business leaders may not see the importance now, but this will soon change.

Many companies underestimate AI's potential. Data fragmentation limits AI's value, and vendor restrictions will accelerate this issue.

Companies must integrate data to allow AI to operate with full context. Choosing open systems to anticipate vendor policy changes is crucial.

The next data war has begun, and business leaders must anticipate these challenges to maximize AI's potential.
