How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible" (self.asklemmy)

I work at a place where data quality is not on anyone's radar. We have a reporting team in our group so we do our best where we can, but combining any datasets with other groups (like marketing & sales) is next to impossible as each team is silo'd and do things their own way - think free-form text fields to tag content...

How can I politely and succinctly say the above? Also, anyone else in a similar boat?

If you have a bunch of sales data, maybe you can focus on deriving purchase patterns and build a simple recommendations engine. If you want to focus on marketing, you could try lead classification. Ideas depend on the domain of the company you work for

This is where we get the fun part of definitions. Depending on what people think AI is this aren't AI. Most people mean GEN-AI aka the new fancy shiny thing. These are boring old machine learning, data science, statistical learning, data mining etc. (depending on your definition)
