DataIQ and Databricks publish report on evidence-based enterprise AI decisions
Overview
DataIQ and Databricks publish Deliberate Decisions, a report drawn from two days of peer discussion at DataIQ Guild 2026, an invite-only gathering of senior data and AI leaders.
The report sets out five leadership disciplines and four foundations (Context, Control, Cost and Choice) for moving enterprise AI from pilots to business value.
The report says a successful pilot does not equal production readiness. It also says the cost of AI includes security, support, governance and the operating model, not only the model or infrastructure.
