Amid the rapid rise of AI, one critical area is often overlooked: records retention. Before enabling tools like Copilot or Gemini, it’s essential to have strong data retention practices in place. This session focuses on the fundamentals—how to manage, protect, and use data responsibly in an AI-driven world. Learn how clear retention policies improve data quality, reduce risk, and support transparency and accountability. Join us for a practical discussion on building a solid foundation for responsible AI adoption.
What you will learn:
• Establish retention as a prerequisite to AI readiness — define what data you keep, why, and for how long before scaling AI initiatives.
• Keep data purposeful to increase value — remove unnecessary or outdated data to improve quality and reduce risk.
• Make data lifecycle decisions intentional — align retention policies with business, legal, and privacy priorities.
• Embed accountability into your data strategy — ensure clear ownership and visibility into how data is managed over time.
• Pair governance with enablement — use tools like Purview or Vault to operationalize policies and sustain them at scale.
