IntelligentCIO Article: How to Truly Be AI-Ready in Today’s World

In a recent IntelligentCIO article, Michael Privat, Chief Data and Engineering Officer at Availity, examines why many enterprise AI projects falter. It is not due to model performance, but because foundations like infrastructure, data, and governance aren’t truly “AI-ready.” Privat argues that AI amplifies whatever base it runs on: strong, modern systems yield scalable success, while complex legacy environments can perpetuate current system challenges.  

The article outlines:

  • How legacy systems obstruct AI deployment and scalability
  • Why governance and data quality are competitive differentiators in AI initiatives
  • The principle that AI amplifies infrastructure: clean foundations = accelerated success, tangled foundations = amplified failure
