Building The ‘Context Graph’ For Effective AI Deployments

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Tom Dunlop, cofounder and CEO of Summize, explains that enterprises are deploying AI tools—copilots, agents, and automations—without a unified strategy, mirroring past SaaS adoption patterns. He cites IBM data showing only 36% of tech executives manage cloud, data, AI, and product engineering as integrated portfolios aligned with business goals. Dunlop argues that fragmented AI adoption hampers productivity gains and data sharing across departments. He proposes building a “context graph” to map interdependencies and data flows, enabling coordinated AI deployments that align with overarching business objectives.
