Usage attributable to internal consumption , if any , has been removed and is not reflected in any of the metrics .

“ The important thing to understand is that the era of generative AI does not require a fundamental change in data strategy . It does , however , require accelerated execution of that strategy . It requires breaking down data silos even faster and opening up access to data sources – wherever they may be in the company or across a broader data ecosystem .” p
