Who Should Own the AI Data Layer?
As with all recent technologies, the first adopters of AI tools are the developers building the underlying infrastructure. They’ve naturally become the sole owners and decision‑makers, while other departments only signal what’s needed. Cloud computing and SaaS tools went through the same cycle, but the case of AI might be different. The AI data layer, which determines what information is accessible to in‑house AI models and agents, is outside the scope of any single department. For marketing teams in particular, control over which data feeds into an AI system isn’t an infrastructure question, as it can affect performance in various ways. Leaving the AI data layer solely to IT might be a mistake.

Telus’s BC sovereign AI build could add real Canadian compute — or just better branding
Canada and Telus say they’re advancing a sovereign AI infrastructure build in British Columbia, with three planned data centres and more than 60,000 GPUs by 2032. The big question for builders is not the ribbon-cutting; it’s whether this becomes usable Canadian compute with clear access, pricing, and procurement paths — or stays a policy label with nice hardware attached.
