Building Secure and Scalable AI Intelligence for the Modern Enterprise
Keywords:
Enterprise business intelligence; context awareness; data integration; data quality; data governance; data security; data privacy; AI augmentation of business intelligence; enterprise data systems requirements; secure system design; scalability; AI transparency; Explainable AI (XAI).Abstract
Context-aware enterprise intelligence (C*EI) integrates business intelligence, data mining, and predictive analytics in complex networked systems. The demand for immediate decision support and automation necessitates constant engagement with data systems attuned to the context of use. AI augmentation promotes intelligent products and services, further heightening reliance on corporate data systems. However, while C*EI is essential to maximize the value of trade, business systems often fail under the dual burdens of security and scale. This research defines C*EI, identifies core requirements for enterprise data systems, and proposes a secure and scalable architecture to orchestrate an AI-augmented data ecosystem. Supporting design principles address security by design, modular scalability, and contextual data modeling. Hypothetical use-case scenarios demonstrate the architecture’s potential. The findings provide practical guidance for organizations seeking to implement context-aware, AI-augmented enterprise data systems while safeguarding assets from adversarial attack and supporting rapid scaling in response to load.
