Some call it the "AI dilemma:" Companies recognize the importance of incorporating artificial intelligence into their business models, but only one-third of their projects are successful. Some 96% of organizations face data-related problems including silos and inconsistent datasets, according to a Tuesday report from Databricks. The data issue can also lead to interpersonal conflict in the workplace, with 80% of the 200 IT executives surveyed citing that there was friction or lack of collaboration between data scientists and data engineers. Some 90% of respondents noted that unifying the data scientists and data engineers could help solve the AI dilemma, according to the report.
