Chief data officers say they can't maintain consistent data quality, and that it's affecting AI outcomes
Only a third of businesses are making meaningful progress in AI adoption, and chief data officers (CDOs) are pinning the blame on poor data quality.
More than two-thirds (68%) of CDOs said data quality was their top challenge, according to the Ataccama Data Trust Report 2025. Meanwhile, four-in-ten struggle to maintain consistent data quality, directly hindering AI outcomes.
The report noted that trust is a critical factor when leveraging data in daily operations. Without it, organizations face inefficiencies, poor decision-making, and the risk of compliance failures, ultimately limiting their ability to achieve business objectives.
