In the world of AI technology, data is everything. As more companies look to incorporate AI into their polices and processes, it’s important to understand how to take full advantage of what AI can do.

There are many ways to do this, but one key way is to make sure the AI is pulling from a massive dataset. The more data the AI is able to pull from, the better the results will be. With strong results, company leaders can improve efficiency, refocus human resources and ultimately make better decisions for their businesses.

This is the case in all industries, including the world of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM). In this industry, AI can remove some of the busy work involved in moving contracts forward and redirect the work employees do. AI doesn’t have to replace humans. With robust datasets, leaders can discover new ways to move their companies into the future.

Monish Darda, the CTO & Co-founder of Icertis, sheds further light on the transformative power of AI and its applications in the world of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and beyond.

Monish’s Thoughts:

“I think, as I said, you cannot separate out the data from artificial intelligence. You need that data for the intelligence to be intelligence, right? And we have one of the largest curated contract repositories on the planet. So, we have the data. That’s number one. The second is when you use the data, when you use the AI to do something, to ask something, to have a conversation, to generate something, it is also important that you take action on what you have done. So, if you say, I want to discover something, it is not enough to stop at discovery. You now have to do something with the discovery. And we have an enterprise platform that goes across some of the largest companies in the world, that solves some of the most complex contract problems that exist on the planet. And you can apply that technology, that way of taking action, to the results that you get from AI.”

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

Smart Industry's Sept. 9, 2026 piece argues plant technology creates no business value until system integrators fit it into existing operations and workflows. Its summer coverage on upskilling, institutional knowledge and a Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute technician report points the same way. The payoff sits in the integration budget.

  • 01Smart Industry's framing moves the buying question from which platform to license to who integrates it and how that engagement is scoped, which puts the system integrator line item at the center of the return rather than in implementation overhead.
  • 02Gartner figures cited by Quality Magazine show 24% of industrial enterprises using IoT have deployed digital twins and 42% plan to, so most of the integration work in that market is still ahead, not behind.
  • 03The Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute report, as covered by Smart Industry, says AI can embed skills into workflows to address technician demand; the sharper question for a plant manager is whether that changes headcount or changes what each technician can cover.

ChatGPT ads now invite consumers to chat directly with brands like Wayfair

ChatGPT ads now invite consumers to chat directly with brands like Wayfair

OpenAI is now running ChatGPT ads that invite users to open a chat with the advertiser, with Wayfair among the first brands spotted using the format, Ad Age reports. Advertisers still receive only aggregated impressions and clicks. For retailers, the media buy now comes with a conversation to staff, while OpenAI's Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise tiers stay ad-free.

  • 01A ChatGPT ad that ends in a brand chat turns a media buy into a staffing and automation question: something on the retailer's side has to answer the shopper.
  • 02Advertisers get aggregated impressions and clicks only; the conversational intent that triggered the ad stays inside OpenAI, so attribution will be coarser than keyword-level search data.
  • 03Ads run only on ChatGPT's free and $8 Go tiers. Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans are excluded, so licensed company workspaces should not see them if that policy holds.

Only 6% of companies get value from AI, Forbes reports

Only 6% of companies get value from AI, Forbes reports

Forbes' enterprise AI coverage as of Sept. 16 includes a John Koetsier piece reporting only 6% of companies get value from AI. Its curated highlights say enterprises are moving to a mix of frontier, open and specialized models, with attention shifting to governance and security. Gartner's 2028 forecasts point the same way.

  • 01A 6% value rate, as reported by Forbes, is a usable benchmark: any enterprise that can show a measured return on an AI deployment is already in a small minority.
  • 02Gartner's 2025 baseline has specialized generative AI models at $1.1 billion of $14.2 billion in model spending, yet it forecasts they will be more than half of what enterprises use by 2028; architectures that cannot route work across several models will fight that shift.
  • 03The sharper question for a platform contract now is who owns AI governance and security, since Gartner's keynote called for a dedicated AI leader and MIT Sloan Management Review lists ownership of data and AI as an unresolved 2026 issue.
