Scaling agentic AI means trusting your data - heres what most CDOs are investing in
Summary
A new survey of 600 CDOs from Informatica, Wakefield Research, and Deloitte finds rapid growth in generative and agentic AI adoption, with 69% of companies with $500M+ revenue using generative AI and 47% using agentic AI. Data quality, retrieval, and governance lag remain top barriers, with half of agentic AI adopters citing data issues and three-quarters of data leaders saying governance has not kept pace. Most data leaders plan to increase investments in data management (86%), focusing on data quality, metadata, privacy/security, and AI governance, while also upskilling employees in data (75%) and AI literacy (74%). Vendors and technology partners will play a larger role — data leaders expect multiple partners — and the report emphasizes that scaling agentic AI depends on trustworthy, reliable data and strong governance.
