Generative AI

What is Generative AI?

Generative Artificial Intelligence or Gen AI, is a type of artificial intelligence technology that produces various types of content, such as text, images, videos, audio and other data, typically in response to a user’s prompt or request.

Gen AI systems use Large Language Models (LLMs), which is essentially, vast amounts of data harvested from the public domain. Armed with this vast amount of data to function, Gen AI systems learn the patterns and structure of this data to generate new content that has similar characteristics.

Popular Gen AI models include ChatGPT for text generation, DALL-E for image generation, and Microsoft Copilot, which works with your enterprise content.

How Metataxis helps organisations with AI

AI solutions are only as useful as the data by which they are trained and built. Yet organisational data is diverse, massive in size, and exists in multiple formats (paper, audio, video, images, emails, and other types of unstructured data, as well as structured data) sprawled across locations and silos.

As many organisations look to implement AI, all this information must be accessible and usable to maximise its business value.

Metataxis helps organisations address these data challenges, to achieve AI readiness and fully realise the benefits of AI solutions.

From conducting a comprehensive inventory of your data and assessing data quality standards, to developing governance and security strategies to ensure data is used appropriately, we can help transform your data to unlock the full potential of AI and see a return on your investment in as short a time as possible, while remaining legally compliant and within appropriate ethical boundaries.

Metataxis offers a comprehensive and customised three-staged adoption plan to support AI implementation success.

Stage 1: Discovery

Evaluate your readiness to adopt AI.

Stage 2: Foundation

Build the foundations to successfully adopt AI.

Stage 3: Implementation

Implement the changes to adopt AI.

Stage 1: Discovery

Evaluate your readiness to adopt AI.

Evaluate your readiness to adopt AI

The key to AI success lies in data preparation. Our AI Readiness Report is designed to evaluate your readiness to successfully adopt, deploy and embrace AI across your organisation.

To build your personalised AI Readiness Report, our information management consultants will assess and catalog your information and data quality to make a series of recommendations, encompassing:

  • Information and data strategy – review both structured and unstructured data, within the context of your business goals and user needs, to identify where AI technology can bring the most value
  • Leadership and governance – review and develop leadership roles and responsibilities; establish a data governance framework
  • Data environment and technical readiness – create data environment maps, and assess the content against key data standards required for Gen AI, including data security, governance, and access
  • Data readiness – assess and develop a roadmap to ensure information and data is ready for AI, including quality, data sprawl, ROT (redundant, outdated, and trivial information), fragmented data storage; review and create robust data processes and safeguards
  • Organisational change and user enablement – review user readiness to accept, use and understand Gen AI tools and outputs; develop new information management policies including lifecycle management, retention and destruction
  • Information risk management – develop a robust risk management framework ensuring new legal and regulatory requirements are considered
  • Training needs – identify employee capabilities and training requirements, including information and AI literacy and prompt engineering to ensure smooth adoption of AI

Book your Gen AI Readiness Report

As the power of Generative AI relies heavily on available data and information, the AI Readiness Report takes a deep dive into the quality of your existing data to identify any potential gaps, security concerns or access issues.

Why you need an AI Readiness Report
  • Maximise ROI: Understand what AI is and ensure your organisation is ready to make the most of it
  • Minimise risks: Includes recommendations to address any legal and compliance concerns
  • Productivity gains: Define the most effective use cases and identify key stakeholders
  • Efficient rollout: Receive an actionable plan and a clear implementation roadmap to keep users engaged and optimise investment
Stage 2: Foundation

Build the foundations to successfully adopt AI.

Define the initiatives to become AI ready

The next step is to consider how AI will be governed and what accommodations must be made to existing governance programmes to ensure that AI is used in a secure, fair and compliant manner. As enterprise AI tools, such as Copilot, work with your enterprise content, Gen AI success also depends on a well-structured information architecture. Without this, AI systems typically struggle to generate meaningful results and offer real value.

Having a good AI governance programme in place can support:

  • Data quality and integrity – ensure the quality, currency and consistency of the information of which AI processes depend
  • Data security and privacy – ensure sensitive and classified information is clearly identified and secured
  • Information lifecycle management – understand the provenance of information, to support more trustworthy AI outcomes. Destroying extant data reduces the risk of out-of-date data and ROT informing AI outputs
  • Risk management – minimise errors in AI outputs and avoid unintended releases of sensitive and classified information, poor business
  • Better decision-making – access greater insights into the information you hold, both for humans and machines
  • Better planning for AI – gain a good understanding of the information held, its properties and practical use

Having a robust information architecture in place can:

  • Improve data organisation, enhance searchability, and streamline data management processes
  • Enhance semantic understanding, better data integration, and deliver more accurate AI outputs
  • Advance data interconnectivity, improve decision-making capabilities, and enhance AI reasoning
  • Maintain compliance with regulations, reduce risk, and increase trust in your data assets
  • Improve data retrieval as creation of knowledge graphs interlink diverse pieces of information, allowing Gen AI systems to efficiently access and utilise the most relevant data
Stage 3: Implementation

Implement the changes to adopt AI.

Deploy those initiatives to successfully adopt and use AI

Once your foundations are defined, we can help you leverage and deploy the initiatives outlined in your information architecture and information governance frameworks to successfully adopt and use AI.

How we help organisations implement successful AI solutions:

  • Leverage all taxonomy, ontologies and metadata into the selected AI tool
  • Ensure compliance and regulatory requirements are met
  • AI tool evaluation and selection
  • Define your AI implementation strategy
  • AI tool configuration and deployment
