Presentation: Autonomous Data Products for the Autonomous Era: Rethinking Data Architecture for GenAI

Jorg Schad: We're going to be talking about actually two of my favorite topics, and that is data meets AI. We'll be talking a little bit about, what do we need? What do we need to actually make data accessible to GenAI? In my experience, most reasons why GenAI or even before whenever I feel we say GenAI nowadays, the same was true to deep learning, to analytics before. Why most of those projects fail, it's not because of I have a bad model. It's not because I'm choosing the wrong thing. That might happen at times. The most consistent failure mode I've seen is because we underestimate the economy around it or the operations around it. I think the probably most important piece to that is, how do I get access to data? I've seen a lot of prototypes. People prepared it either internally in the company or even external consultants. They come in, have this really cool presentation. Once we really want to turn that into production code and want to connect it to our real data, not just this little cleaned up sample data we had before, this is when actually things break apart. This is, I…
