In a 2022 blog post, Komprise cofounder and CEO Kumar Goswami noted: “Enterprises need to be ready for this wave of change and it starts by getting unstructured data prepped, as this data is the critical ingredient for AI/ML.

Unforeseen changes to society, fueled by AI, are coming soon and you don’t want to be caught flat-footed.”
