A significant flaw exists in AI data agents where the distinction between factual data and model inferences is lost before reaching the AI. This occurs within data catalogs, which flatten distinct data tiers (certified, observed, inferred) into a single confidence score. This architectural issue, rather than prompt engineering, leads to AI agents confidently presenting guesses as facts, potentially causing errors such as incorrect data joins and inflated revenue figures. The solution requires data catalogs to explicitly preserve the provenance of data rather than erasing it. AI
IMPACT Highlights a critical architectural flaw in AI data handling that can lead to significant operational errors.
