CDM Media Podcast J.D. Miller

Data priority and governance structures have taken on a whole new importance in today’s ever-evolving data landscape.

The importance of forming the right governance structures around AI, focusing on safety and security, and creating a data culture that includes education is paramount. Not to mention understanding that the organization, not just the data team, owns the data.

J.D. Miller recently sat down for a fireside discussion at our Minneapolis CDO Summit with Ylan Kazi, CDO, Blue Cross Blue Shield North Dakota. We talked about the role of data governance in AI implementation, the challenge of balancing innovation with AI technologies while maintaining stringent data governance standards, making sure data governance frameworks remain adaptable, and so much more.
