The AI Gold Rush: Separating Gold from Pyrite

There’s a gold rush happening in enterprise AI. Every company is staking a claim, but most prospectors are hauling back fool’s gold: AI answers that look valuable on the surface but crumble the moment you try to verify them. That’s what hallucinations are. And 74% of companies still haven’t struck real value from their AI investments. The territory isn’t the problem. Your enterprise data is rich with real gold: verified, governed answers that drive trusted decisions. What’s missing are the right mining tools and a reliable map. In this session, you’ll discover:

• Why many AI prospectors keep mistaking fool’s gold for the real thing

• How Simba Intelligence , with its AI-native semantic layer and built-in governance, acts as the mining tool that separates hallucinations from verifiable intelligence

• Why query-time validation is the map that guides every AI answer back to a trusted source

• Key findings from the BARC research note sponsored by insightsoftware Data + Analytics "Connect, Reason, and Govern: Activating Distributed Data With Agentic AI ."
