248: Whose Data Is It, Anyway?

Last episode ended on a question: who owns your data once it lives in someone else's platform, and what happens when an AI starts reading it? In the series finale I put it to the vendors. Randall Stevens at AVAIL, Sasha Crotty at Autodesk, Andy Rahden at Bentley, Scott Reynolds at UpCodes, Chris Razzell at dRofus, Ross Wagner at Pirros, Marty Rozmanith at Skema, and Aaron Vorwerk at Egnyte each say what a firm keeps, what it rents, and what walks out the door when it leaves. Aaron, Mike Soldan at Egnyte, Andy, and Campbell Yule take on who is liable when something goes wrong. Dimitrie Stefanescu at Speckle, Matt Wash and Ariel Cooke-Zamora at Bimbeats, Holger Kreienbrink at Graphisoft, Jesper Wallgren at Finch, and Clifton Harness at TestFit weigh in on what AI-ready means, and whether to wait until the data is clean. This episode is especially relevant for principals, CIOs, and BIM managers who sign the software contract or have been told to get ready for AI, and who haven't yet asked what the firm keeps, what it pays for, and what it can take with it when it leaves.
