The Hidden Risk of Scaling AI Without a Single Source of Truth

Aug 5, 2026

AI doesn’t fail because it’s not smart enough—it fails because it can’t see the full picture. In this video, Sterling Parker, Ivanti’s SVP of Technical Solutions and Services, explains why fragmented and "dirty" data is the biggest obstacle holding AI back for organizations today.

When AI pulls from disconnected systems, it’s forced to fill in the gaps with its own intelligence, leading to hallucinations and outcomes that are hard to trust. Sterling breaks down how these "cracks in the foundation" can actually create new security vulnerabilities when scaled too quickly.

Learn how to move from disparate systems to a unified system of record, ensuring your AI agents have the single source of truth they need to be truly beneficial.
