SAN JOSE, Calif., April 15 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today released its latest global survey, The Data Readiness Index: Understanding the Foundations for Successful AI, examining how prepared enterprises are to support AI at scale. Surveying nearly 1,300 global IT leaders, the report finds that while AI adoption is growing, most organizations still lack the data foundation needed for success. The findings highlight a striking paradox: while 96% of organizations report integrating AI into core business processes and 85% say they have a clear data strategy, nearly 4 out of 5 (~80%) admit their AI and data initiatives are still constrained by limited data access across environments.
This gap highlights an emerging “AI readiness illusion”: the belief that organizations are prepared to scale AI even as critical data challenges remain unresolved.
