The MIT Tech Review AI piece usefully refocuses attention on the unglamorous but critical infrastructure needed for AI to work reliably at scale. However, in our view, framing data quality and governance as 'durable' elements may understate how these foundations are themselves shifting targets, especially with the rise of agentic systems that demand dynamic, real-time context. The analysis arguably leans too heavily on a traditional IT playbook, potentially missing how new architectural patterns and emerging tooling might change the cost-benefit equation of these foundational investments.

“"The data is a durable part of AI architecture because without it, these models won’t run, won’t provide the right context, or won’t give the right level of services that we’re looking to implement."”
