New research released by Datacom shows New Zealand businesses may not have the quality of data to capitalise on AI and all it offers. From the results, it extrapolates that:Just 9 per cent of New Zealand businesses consider 100 per cent data to be “clean” - that is complete, and free of inaccuracies, duplication, inconsistencies or outdated material. Nearly half (47 per cent) of New Zealand businesses believe that “close to 75 per cent” of their data is clean. “The quality of AI outputs is wholly dependent on the quality of data that is available – garbage in, garbage out,” Gray says. It found:91 per cent of New Zealand businesses believe their organisation has adequate data and security protocols to protect their information.
