AI Fabric: The Future of Data and AI Integration

Data Fabric + AI Factory = AI Fabric

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations struggle to connect fragmented data, manage artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automation, and ensure governance at scale. That’s where an AI fabric approach comes in. AI fabric is a next-generation approach that seamlessly unites data, AI, and automation, enabling businesses to transform their operations with real-time insights, enhanced decision-making, and scalable automation.


What is an AI Fabric?

An AI fabric is a next-generation architectural approach that organizations are using to unify their data estate (like a data fabric does) and inject advanced AI into business operations (like an AI factory does).

The Critical Role of Data Lineage in Ensuring Effective AI Governance

The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) presents tremendous opportunities and risks. AI systems influence critical sectors such as military and business operations, making it vital to establish robust governance frameworks. Effective AI governance relies on data lineage—the ability to trace the journey of data from its origin to its use in AI systems. This process ensures AI-generated decisions are based on trustworthy and accurate data, fostering transparency and accountability.

In this white paper, we’ll explore the relationship between data lineage and AI governance, the importance of verification and validation (V&V), and how knowledge graphs ensure AI outputs are reliable, understandable, and traceable.
