AI data fabric is a data architecture that uses automation and AI to connect, organize, govern, and make data accessible across different systems and environments. It creates a unified layer over databases, cloud platforms, applications, and data sources, allowing organizations to discover relationships, manage data quality, and deliver relevant information to AI models and business users.
AI data fabrics are useful when data is distributed across hybrid or multi-cloud environments. They can automate metadata management, identify sensitive information, improve data integration, and support real-time access for analytics and machine learning. Related technologies include data mesh, data virtualization, knowledge graphs, data governance, and machine learning.
