Four Key Pillars of a Data-Centric Approach to AI

A data-centric approach to AI prioritizes improving data quality over tweaking models or code. As AI shifts toward unstructured data like text and images, traditional tools fall short. Data and analytics architects can address these challenges using four key pillars: data preparation and exploratory analysis, feature engineering, data labeling and annotation, and data augmentation. These pillars enable the creation of high-quality, AI-ready datasets, enhanced by modern tools like automation, low-code platforms, and synthetic data generation for scalable, intelligent systems.
