In the digital age, data management has become a strategic issue for companies. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), increasing data volumes and stringent regulations, new roles are emerging, requiring specific skills to meet tomorrow's challenges. These professions, true architects of digital transformation, are at the heart of the evolution of organizations, impacting both their strategy and their operations!
THE RISE OF DATA AND IA PROFESSIONS
