Gartner Predicts by 2028, 80% of GenAI Business Apps Will Be Developed on Existing Data Management Platforms
Gartner Inc. predicts that organizations will develop 80% of Generative AI (GenAI) business applications on their existing data management platforms by 2028. This approach will reduce the complexity and time required to deliver these applications by 50%.Prasad Pore, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner, said, 'Building GenAI business applications today involves integrating large language models (LLMs) with an organization's internal data and adopting rapidly evolving technologies like vector search, metadata management, prompt design and embedding. However, without a unified management approach, adopting these scattered technologies leads to longer delivery times and potential sunk costs for organizations.'As organizations aim to develop GenAI-centric solutions, data management platforms must evolve to integrate new capabilities or services for GenAI development, ensuring AI readiness and successful implementation.Enhancing GenAI Application Deployment With RAGRetrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is becoming a cornerstone for deploying GenAI applications, providing implementation flexibility, enhanced explainability and composability with LLMs. By integrating data from both traditional and non-traditional sources as context, RAG enriches the LLM to support downstream GenAI systems.'Most LLMs are trained on publicly available data and are not highly effective on their own at solving specific business challenges,' said Pore. 'However, when these LLMs are combined with business-owned datasets using the RAG architectural pattern, their accuracy is significantly enhanced. Semantics, particularly metadata, play a crucial role in this process. Data catalogs can help capture this semantic information, enriching knowledge bases and ensuring the right context and traceability for data used in RAG solutions.'To effectively navigate the complexities of GenAI application deployment, enterprises should consider these key recommendations:Evolve Data Management Platforms: Evaluate whether current data management platforms can be transformed into a RAG-as-a-service platform, replacing stand-alone document/data stores as the knowledge source for business GenAI applications.Prioritize RAG Technologies: Evaluate and integrate RAG technologies such as vector search, graph and chunking, from existing data management solutions or their ecosystem partners when building GenAI applications. These options are more resilient to technological disruptions and compatible with organizational data.
Leverage Metadata for Protection: Enterprises should leverage not only technical metadata, but also operational metadata generated at runtime in data management platforms. This approach helps protect GenAI applications from malicious use, privacy issues and intellectual property leaks.

Blind Spots and Wishful Thinking: Why Data Resilience Needs a Reality Check
For years, many organizations have been guilty of putting data resilience on the back burner. Over time, however, the rising tide of threat levels, regulations, and best practices has lifted all boats. Resilience is now firmly on the for a rethinkAwareness is only half the battle; preparedness is another matter. Now that industry benchmarks have improved so that organizations have a better idea of what to look for, they are waking up to an uncomfortable fact – they aren't as prepared as they ought to be. The Veeam report on data resilience among larger enterprises in collaboration with McKinsey found that key aspects of cyber resilience - even old-hat fundamentals like 'People and Processes - were regularly self-reported as significantly did we get here? And how can organizations shore up these shortcomings? For C-suite decision-makers, resilience perhaps isn't the most exciting or business-critical concern. Historically, it was often lumped in with general cybersecurity and assumed that it was already in place. Unfortunately, like most contingencies, the true value of data resilience can't be appreciated until things go wrong. Aside from the CISO, chief execs would often treat backup and recovery processes like you would an airbag. Forget it's in place at all, until you're involved in an incident, and then suddenly you're thanking your lucky stars you had it in law enforcement cracking down on some of the most prominent groups, including the likes of BlackCat and LockBit, there might have been an assumption that cyberattacks as a whole are trending down. But the reality couldn't be further from the truth. In the last year alone, 69% of companies faced an attack at one point or another, yet 74% still fell short of data resilience best practices. The threat is only evolving, with smaller groups and so-called 'lone wolf' attackers stepping into the gap. And with a new subsection of attackers comes a new set of methods, with the faster data exfiltration attack methods on the writing's on the wallThe same Veeam report, in collaboration with McKinsey revealed that 74% of participating enterprises lacked the maturity needed to recover quickly and confidently from a disruption. While cyber resilience gaps are often a case of 'not realising before it was too late', in this case, many of these deficiencies were self-reported. But if organizations are aware, why haven't they plugged these gaps?For some, it could be down to the simple fact that they've only just realized. The recent wave of EU-focused regulations, including notably NIS2 and DORA, has spotlighted the issue by requiring organizations to up their resilience across the board. In the build-up to their compliance deadlines over the last year, organizations had to critically assess their full data resilience, many for the first time, revealing a number of previously unknown blind no matter how they realized their gaps, organizations did not fall behind overnight. For many, it's happened incrementally with their data resilience standards not keeping up as new technologies and applications have been adopted. With most organizations implementing AI at will to stay ahead of the competition and optimize business processes, the impact on their data profiles has gone largely unnoticed. The sheer amount of data needed and generated by these applications has resulted in sprawling data profiles that fall far outside existing data resilience this with an underdeveloped understanding of modern data resilience, and you've got a recipe for disaster. It's often a case of 'you don't know what you don't know'. As a result, many organizations have been benchmarking themselves against the wrong yardsticks. Take your standard tabletop exercise, sure, it's better than nothing, but data resilience can't be measured on paper. In theory, their processes might work, but in reality, it's a whole other a step in the right directionSo, what's next? Rather than waiting for an incident to come along and put them to the test, organizations need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That means proactively uncovering and addressing gaps, however uneasy it might make them first step for any organization with below-par data resilience should be to gather a clear picture of your data profile. What you have, where it's stored, and why you do or don't need it. With this, you can reduce at least some of your data sprawl by filtering out any obsolete, redundant, or trivial data to focus on securing the data you actually need. Then, get to work securing the work doesn't stop there. Once you've got your shiny, new data resilience measures in place, it's time to stress test them. And not just once. Data resilience measures need to be consistently and comprehensively tested to push them to their very limits, much like in the real thing – cyber-attackers won't just stop when your systems start to creak a little. And they won't wait until the perfect through scenarios where key stakeholders are on annual leave, or where security teams are occupied with something else entirely, to expose all of the potential gaps in your measures. It might seem excessive, but otherwise, the first you'll hear about these vulnerabilities will be during or following a real a significant piece of work to undertake, but data resilience is worth every penny. According to the Veeam report, in collaboration with McKinsey, companies with advanced data resilience capabilities have 10% higher annual revenue growth than those lagging. That's not to say that improved data resilience will magically boost these figures for you, but bringing up your data resilience standards will inevitably have a knock-on effect on processes across the board. At the very least, you can be sure that cyberthreats will only grow more complex, and that data footprints won't be getting smaller any time soon. It's an issue that every organization will have to face, so jump in the deep end now before you get pushed beyond your limits by a cyber-attack.

US 50% tariffs on metals take effect
June 4 (UPI) -- The United States' 50% tariffs on metals imported from nearly all nations took effect on Wednesday. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, doubling the tariffs on all aluminum and steel imported into the United States from 25% to 50% with only Britain receiving a reprieve as part of a trade deal between the two nations in May. "In my judgement, the increased tariffs will more effectively counter foreign countries that continue to offload low-priced excess steel and aluminum in the United States Market and thereby undercut the competitiveness of the United States steel and aluminum industries," Trump said in the order. Roughly 25% of all steel used in the United States is imported from abroad, with neighbors Mexico and Canada serving as the largest exporters of steel into the country. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said Mexico would seek an exemption from the tariff increase while criticizing the move by the United States. "It makes no sense for the United States to levy a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus," he said. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's office also said Canada was "engaged in intensive and live negotiations to have these and other tariffs removed. European Union Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday in an effort to work out an exemption on the 50% duty. Sefcovic posted to X Wednesday that the two had "a productive and constructive discussion." "We're advancing in the right direction at pace -- and staying in clsoe contact to maintain the momentum," he said. Britain was spared from the tariffs after signing the U.S.-U.K. Economic Prosperity Deal on May 8 that granted the United States the ability to fast-track exports including agricultural products, through British customs and market access for industrial products. Tuesday's executive order stipulated, however, that Britain could be subject to the 50% tariffs as soon as July 9 if it is determined that it has not "complied with relevant aspects of the deal." Gareth Stace, director general of U.K. Steel, said Tuesday that while the trade association for the British steel industry welcomes the 25% tariff break, "uncertainty remains over timings and final tariff rates, and now [United States] customers will be dubious over whether they should even risk making U.K. orders." "The [United States] and U.K. must urgently turn the May deal into reality to remove the tariffs completely," he said.
