Why Enterprise AI Fails: The Canonical Truth Problem 

layers of analytics

Summary 

Enterprise AI struggles to scale not because of model limitations, but because it relies on incomplete or outdated data. This paper explains the gap between the data AI typically uses and the real-time, authoritative data in systems of record—and why that gap leads to failure in high-stakes use cases. Solving it requires rethinking how AI accesses, governs, and acts on enterprise data.
