Seize the Data #13 - Trust Is the AI Bottleneck with Hari Chidambaram
The conversation closes on a risk most teams are already feeling: the “curse of plenty,” where BI sprawl and semantic drift grow faster than organizations can maintain trust.
What does it really take to operationalize enterprise AI, beyond the demos?
Hari Chidambaram is a senior data and AI leader who has built decision-driven data and AI platforms at Amazon Pay and Intuit Mailchimp. In this Seize the Data conversation, he breaks down why most AI transformation efforts stall when they hit real-world ambiguity - unclear definitions, messy data, and weak ownership. AI does not remove judgment. It puts it under a spotlight.
We also get into the modern foundations that make AI usable inside complex organizations: customer 360 and identity across siloed systems, governed data with semantic clarity, and connected context through knowledge graphs. The conversation closes on a risk most teams are already feeling: the “curse of plenty,” where BI sprawl and semantic drift grow faster than organizations can maintain trust.
