Gartner: Operational AI Requires Data Engineering, DataOps, and Data-AI Role Alignment

Recommendations for Further Reading

In Gartnerā€™s recent report, Operational AI Requires Data Engineering, DataOps, and Data-AI Role Alignment, Robert Thanaraj and Erick Brethenoux recognize that ā€œorganizations are not familiar with the processes needed to scale and promote artificial intelligence models from the prototype to the production stages; resulting in uncoordinated production deployment attempts.ā€

In fact, only 1 in 10 organizations are able to get 75% or more of their AI prototypes into production and it takes 9 months on average to do so.Ā  This is similar to findings in a joint Eckerson-DataKitchen DataOps survey.

In this report, Gartner outlines recommendations to effectively operationalize AI solutions that involve the core management competencies of ModelOps, DataOps, and DevOps.Ā  Although there is a good degree of overlap between these practices, Figure 1 illustrates their interrelationship.
