“With AI Comes an Interoperability Challenge” | Don Murray, CEO Safe Software @ Big Data LDN

In this vox pop with EM360Tech's Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and Tech Journalist, Don Murray, Co-founder and CEO of Safe Software, addresses the key challenges of enterprises adopting AI at scale.

Live from Big Data LDN 2025, Murray tells Dua that AI brings interoperability challenges. “In the world of AI, customers have the flexibility to select the AI they want, and the AI depends on the data they have and the problem enterprises are trying to solve. Ultimately, "there’s not one AI to rule them all.”

Safe Software CEO adds that unstructured data has now become more important with the age of AI. 

“For the first time, you can actually start to pull the data from unstructured data.”
