91 percent of data and analytics leaders in Singapore say their data strategies need a complete overhaul before their artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions can succeed, Salesforce<\/a>\u2018s study revealed Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to the firm\u2019s latest State of Data and Analytics report, 77 percent of business leaders in Singapore say they\u2019re under growing pressure to drive business value with data. <\/p>\n

While business leaders are eager to use AI for insights and productivity, their technical counterparts worry a new approach to data and analytics is needed. <\/p>\n

To close the gap, savvy technical leaders are focusing on the fundamentals: timely, context-rich data, stronger governance and zero copy architectures that unlock trapped, distributed data regardless of where it resides. <\/p>\n

On their journey to becoming agentic enterprises, they\u2019re also embracing emerging solutions like agentic analytics that bring reliable insights into the flow of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgentic AI is the most powerful enabler of business transformation today, ushering unprecedented productivity, customer connection and growth, <\/p>\n

\u201cYet, fragmented data and inconsistent governance continue to hold organizations back from realizing the technology\u2019s full potential, and fulfilling their vision of becoming agentic enterprises,\u201d said Gavin Barfield, Vice President & Chief Technology Officer, Solutions, ASEAN, Salesforce. <\/p>\n

\u201cSingapore organizations facing mounting pressure to expand their AI capabilities must first get their data foundation in order, <\/p>\n

\u201cUnifying disparate data, and building robust governance will be critical to unlocking real business value from AI,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

According to the study, AI has quickly become the top data priority \u2014 and the biggest stress test for existing data foundations. <\/p>\n

In 2023\u2019s State of Data and Analytics report, expanding AI capabilities rose from the #10 priority among Singapore respondents in 2023 to the #1 priority this year. <\/p>\n

As a result, 86 percent of data and analytics leaders in Singapore feel pressured to implement AI quickly. <\/p>\n

Yet, 36 percent aren\u2019t fully confident in the accuracy and relevance of their AI outputs, likely because of the disconnected, out-of-date data it draws from.<\/p>\n

While 88 percent of data and analytics leaders theoretically agree that AI\u2019s outputs are only as good as its data inputs, their reality is a bit more complicated. <\/p>\n

Data and analytics leaders estimate that over a quarter (27 percent) of their organizational data is untrustworthy. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 84 percent of data and analytics leaders in Singapore with AI in production say they\u2019ve experienced inaccurate or misleading AI outputs.<\/p>\n

Nearly two-thirds of Singapore data and analytics leaders (66 percent) at companies training or fine-tuning their own models report they\u2019ve wasted significant resources doing so with bad data.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgentic AI isn\u2019t the next technology \u2014 it\u2019s the next revolution. AI agents handle routine tasks so humans can focus on creativity, relationships, and impact,\u201d said Salesforce Chief Executive Officer Marc Benioff.<\/p>\n

However, he warned that \u201cto truly get the most value and context from AI models, you\u2019ve got to get your data right. You have to get to more integrated solutions. You have to get the priorities right. You have to get the governance right.\u201d<\/p>\n
