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.

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.
