The Hidden Data Engineering Behind Successful AI Projects
Conceptual illustration showing how Data Engineering provides the foundation for reliable AI by connecting data sources, pipelines, governance, and AI models into a trusted information ecosystem. Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations work. Large Language Models (LLMs), AI assistants, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, intelligent automation, and advanced analytics are now central to many technology strategies. The excitement is understandable
