This paper explains the gap between the data AI typically uses and the&nbsp;real-time, authoritative data in systems of record\u2014and why that gap leads to failure in high-stakes use cases. Solving it requires rethinking how AI accesses, governs, and acts on enterprise data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-ll-learn-nbsp\">What You\u2019ll
