Relyance AI, a data governance platform provider that secured $32.1 million in Series B funding last October, is launching a new solution aimed at solving one of the most pressing challenges in enterprise AI adoption: understanding exactly how data moves through complex systems.The company’s new Data Journeys platform, announced today, addresses a critical blind spot for organizations implementing AI — tracking not just where data resides, but how and why it’s being used across applications, cloud services, and third-party systems.“The fundamental premise is making sure that our customers have this AI native, context-aware view, very visual view of the entire journey of data across their applications, services, infrastructures, third parties,” said Abhi Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Relyance AI, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. “You can really get at the heart of the why of data processing, which is the most foundational layer needed for general AI governance.”The launch comes at a pivotal moment for enterprise AI governance. As companies accelerate AI implementation, they face mounting pressure from regulators worldwide. More than a quarter of Fortune 500 companies have identified AI regulation as a risk in SEC filings, and GDPR-related fines reached €1.2 billion in 2024 alone (approximately $1.26 billion at current exchange rates).How Data Journeys tracks information flow where others fall shortThe platform represents a significant evolution from conventional data lineage approaches, which typically track data movement on a table-to-table or column-to-column basis within specific systems.“The status quo for data lineage is basically table to table and column level lineage
**Mexico**: Mexican companies are gearing up to boost investments in technology within the transport and logistics sectors, focusing on safety and operational efficiency, as highlighted during the Road Safety Summit by Samsara.
Samsara report examines causes and impacts of distracted driving(Chart: Samsara)Technology and telematics provider Samsara released a report on Tuesday that looked at what causes distracted driving and solutions for it. The report included over 1,500 commercial driver respondents. A major theme was that distracted driving is widespread, with text messaging and social media usage as key drivers.According to the study, within the previous year, 79% of drivers experienced a close call due to distracted driving. Drilling into the details, 93% of drivers personally experienced the negative effects of risky behavior with 37% reporting vehicle damage, 32% personal injury, 30% fines and 30% license suspension or revocation. Not only was it more dangerous dealing with distracted drivers, but the commercial drivers themselves highlighted the allure of digital devices and how they can make focusing on the road more difficult. Just over three-quarters of drivers reported often being distracted by their personal mobile devices, and the cohort was not limited to or concentrated in specific age levels or years of experience.The most common distractions reported were reading and sending messages (32%), making calls (29%) and scrolling social media (29%). Another question raised by the report was whether a carrot or stick approach worked best for reducing distracted driving. Drivers overwhelmingly preferred recognition and incentives, with 82% of respondents saying positive reinforcement was more effective than penalties
