AI models are only as reliable as the data behind them—and messy SharePoint folders, duplicate customer records, and outdated permissions can turn an AI rollout into a security and operational nightmare.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why data preparation must start with daily business workflows and clear data ownership

• A 5-step process to clean, deduplicate, and standardize messy business records

• How to prevent AI tools from exposing restricted HR, legal, and finance files through outdated permissions
