Here’s the kind of AI development that makes you think big. A major pharmaceutical firm (Merck) is teaming up with an AI-powered biotech (Valo) to look for new treatments in Parkinson’s, and the deal is worth more than three billion dollars.

What really stands out is how much this depends on strong information architecture. Models can only do so much on their own. They need clean, connected, well-organized data behind them — everything from patient records to biological samples to clinical measurements. Without that foundation, the AI can’t deliver the results everyone is hoping for.

This move shows how drug discovery is shifting toward AI-driven ecosystems. Pharma, data platforms, and large-scale datasets are coming together in ways we’ve never seen before. And the strength of the underlying data architecture is what makes it all possible.

I came across this interesting article: “AI cut development time of antibiotic that spares gut-friendly bacteria by two years” (Chemistry World, published 5 days ago). 
Chemistry World

What leaps out to me is how far we’ve come in applying AI not just to speed things up, but to target precision in drug development — in this case, an antibiotic that avoids collateral damage to beneficial gut microbes.

From an information architecture and data-management perspective, this rings very true:

These breakthroughs are underpinned by structured, high-quality data — mapping which bacteria are “friendly”, which are harmful, how they interact.

The AI models must integrate and reason over multiple layers of data (microbial profiles, drug-target interactions, patient safety) in a cohesive architecture.

To shrink timelines by two years, you need information pipelines that are agile, traceable and well governed — the kind of modern data-infrastructure we discuss often.

Key takeaways:

Innovating with AI in life sciences is now less about “can we” and more about “how fast and how reliably”.

The reliability of AI output depends heavily on the underlying data architecture (governance, lineage, metadata) — sloppy structure means risk.

As these methods mature, the organizations that have modern, scalable information architecture will be able to iterate faster and extract value from AI more safely.

Ethical/clinical implications matter: it’s not just about speed, but ensuring the drug spares beneficial bacteria, for example — which means richer datasets, clearer definitions of harm/benefit and stronger traceability of decisions.

In short: If you treat AI as a glitzy “tool”, you miss the point. The real differentiator is how you build the end-to-end information architecture that enables that AI tool to work with reliability, speed and integrity.

AI Ethics Start at Data Architecture—An Uncomfortable Truth

Let’s be blunt: If you’re not obsessively building ethics into your Information Architecture, you’re playing with fire. People love to talk about “ethical AI” as if you sprinkle some disclaimers on your website and build a half-hearted “AI Ethics Board.” But without data-level governance, all of that is performative. Our increasingly dystopian headlines (biased hiring tools, facial recognition gone haywire, AI content that spreads misinformation) stem directly from data neglect.

Why does IA matter for ethics? Because the darkest corners of biased AI, privacy breaches, and regulatory fines start here:

Hidden Bias Lives in Messy If your data architecture doesn’t enforce diversity and fairness constraints, your AI will perpetuate historical biases. Your “cool new hiring AI” might unintentionally reject candidates from underrepresented backgrounds because those groups were undercounted in your legacy HR systems.

Unchecked Privacy Violations: Without clear data lineage and classification, you risk feeding protected information (health records, personal IDs) into models that shouldn’t see them. One slip, and you’re staring down a class-action lawsuit—not to mention collapsed trust.

Opaque Decision-Making: If you can’t trace how data travels through your pipelines—what transformations it undergoes—your AI decisions become black boxes. Regulators demand accountability, and rightly so. If you can’t explain how your AI arrived at a loan decision or a healthcare recommendation, you’re toast.

Now for the provocative part: If you think ethics is something you tack on after the fact, you’re delusional. Ethical AI begins at a data level:

Tag and classify sensitive data at ingestion. If technical teams can’t distinguish PII from anonymized info, they’ll inadvertently misuse it.

Embed bias detection in your pipelines. Identify if certain demographic groups are underrepresented or misrepresented.

Ensure audit trails for every data transformation. If you can’t prove how data got scrubbed, or who approved a schema change, you can’t prove compliance.

💡 Ethical AI isn’t a flashy checkbox; it’s baked into your data architecture. If you’re not living and breathing data governance daily, you might think you’re “ethically motivated,” but you’re one misconfig away from becoming the next cautionary headline.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐍𝐨 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭

I just read an article titled “Getting the enterprise data layer unstuck for AI” — and it struck me how critical the underlying data architecture really is when organizations try to scale their AI. InfoWorld

The piece argues that recent waves of AI aren’t just another tool: they’re forcing enterprises to rewrite their data layer entirely. Gone are the days when siloed tables and legacy systems could reliably support modern AI. Instead, the demand is for meaning, trust, interoperability — a foundation that truly supports intelligent systems. InfoWorld

What stands out for me:

·        Data architecture can’t be an afterthought without a data layer built for context and connectivity; AI risks being brittle or misleading.
·        The shift is not just technical — it’s philosophical. It’s about moving from “store and forget” to “store, connect, understand.”
·        Investing in clean, well-governed, interoperable data infrastructure isn’t overhead. It’s the strategic enabler for AI that delivers real value.

This push toward smarter data architecture is exactly what separates AI experiments from true enterprise-scale AI transformations. For organizations exploring AI adoption, building a resilient, future-ready data foundation should be top of mind.

Congratulations, Carl Gerber 👏👏👏.
Completely agree — the right Information Architecture (IA) truly powers impactful AI. Equally, AI can now accelerate the creation of the right IA — from automating metadata enrichment to building semantic layers that make data more discoverable and usable.

This synergy between IA and AI is laying the foundation for the 4th Generation Data Warehouse — one that’s intelligent, self-optimizing, and insight-ready by design. Exciting times ahead! Please download the below white paper 👇

The Promise of AI vs. The Reality

Reports indicate that businesses today are facing a new "inflection point". Despite massive investment and the promise of AI, studies suggest that up to 95% of all AI pilots are failing to make it to production.

As a Chief Data Officer focused on operationalizing trusted AI at scale, I see this failure rate as a clear signal: the fundamental challenge is not the AI model, rather the content and data foundation supporting it. Existing enterprise information architectures cannot scale safely and securely for AI. Manually intensive data governance that’s not highly automated and metadata-driven is another contributing factor to data not being AI-Ready.

To bridge this massive gap and achieve the Enterprise AI imperative, we must move beyond previous architectures, while leveraging current data platform investments. The answer lies in adopting the Fourth-Generation Data Platform, an architecture designed to embed governance, semantics, and AI-native services at the core.

If your organization is struggling to move AI from pilot to enterprise-wide production, it's time to re-examine your content and data estates.

Totally agree, Alexis Haselberger. As countries sharpen their focus on AI Sovereignty, enterprises must prepare for an AI-driven future with the right foundations in place.

This starts with strong IA (Information Architecture) — the backbone that enables trustworthy and scalable AI. Governance, metadata management, semantic layers, and clear data ownership models will play a critical role in ensuring AI outcomes are responsible, compliant, and enterprise-ready.

Why Are Countries So Obsessed With Sovereign AI?

“Sovereign AI” has suddenly become a national priority for governments everywhere.
Not because it sounds impressive, but because something deeper is shifting:

AI is becoming infrastructure.
And infrastructure is power.

Here is what sovereign AI truly means, and why it matters.

Before we go further, I’m writing a deeper series on this shift for my Substack
The Long Signal — where I break down the architectures, the geopolitics, and what comes after the LLM bubble.
If you want the full analysis as it unfolds, you can subscribe here:
👉 https://lnkd.in/eqE3NuGH

**1. Data Sovereignty

Who shapes your AI’s worldview?**

Models absorb the values and assumptions of the data they are trained on.
If that data comes from the Western internet, the worldview does too.

Most countries lack enough local text to train large models from scratch, which means they inherit someone else’s cultural logic.
Sovereign AI begins with sovereign data.

**2. Model Architecture Sovereignty

Whose thinking style does your model inherit?**

Using Llama, Gemma or a Chinese-origin model means adopting the reasoning patterns, safety defaults and inductive biases of the creator.
Fine-tuning adds local habits, but the underlying “mind” remains foreign.

**3. Compute Sovereignty

Who controls your ability to train?**

Training needs extreme compute: NVIDIA GPUs, CUDA, PyTorch and more—mostly US-origin. Access can be restricted anytime. Without compute sovereignty, nations can’t independently train or scale models.

**4. Inference Sovereignty

Where does national data actually run?**

If inference happens on foreign cloud systems, the data falls under foreign jurisdiction—impacting healthcare, policing, courts and national operations.

**5. Data Centre Sovereignty

Where does your AI physically live?*

AI lives in buildings that need power, cooling, land and security.
If those facilities are foreign-owned or located abroad, the country loses physical control over critical infrastructure.
Data centres are the territorial layer of sovereign AI.

**6. AI Economy Sovereignty

Who captures the value?**

A country can build a model yet lose everything if the value flows to foreign clouds, foreign vendors or foreign talent.
True sovereignty requires a domestic AI economy that keeps and scales the benefits.

The real reason sovereign AI matters

AI is becoming the next foundation of national competitiveness.
Productivity, industry, defence, culture and economic power will all be shaped by it.

Countries are not obsessed with sovereign AI because it is trendy.
They are obsessed because it decides who builds the future.
