For years, enterprises have built intelligence in a set order. The data gets integrated and moved to a central platform. After that, it has to be normalized and governed.

At AOT Technologies, we have seen this in action. In two of […]
The Bank of Canada recently found that more than two-thirds of Canadian business leaders use AI personally during a typical workweek. Yet only 8% of businesses report using AI significantly in their core operations. Still, almost every conversation about technology eventually becomes a conversation about AI.
