About

With the adoption of AI skyrocketing, companies know they are unlikely to succeed unless AI can access to contextually relevant, high-quality data. That makes data governance critically important to AI success.  But many organisations are struggling to govern their data which is typically scattered across a distributed data estate.  Many are using multiple stand-alone data governance tools and with no standard way to exchange metadata, data governance is slow and fragmented with metadata silos, complexity and rework.  Also, there is too much data and so we are well past the point where people can govern data on their own.  So how do you solve this problem?

In this keynote, Mike Ferguson details what needs to be done to govern data in the era of AI, how companies can conquer the complexity they face, by implementing a unified approach to data governance that combines data catalogs with data observability and AI Agents to continuously understand, monitor and detect data incidents across your organisation, assess their severity and automate actions to consistently enforce policies across a distributed data estate. The session will cover:

• The need for high quality data to underpin AI success
• Current problems with data governance and AI today
• Requirements to improve data governance using AI and AI automation
• The need for an integrated and unified data governance platform
• Combining a data catalog, data intelligence, data observability, AI Agents and orchestration to actively govern your data
• How you can create a Data Governance Action Framework for your enterprise
• Using AI agents and to continually monitor the health and security of your data and automate actions when issues arise

Takeaways:

• Learn what is needed to govern a distributed multi-cloud data estate and why it is critical to AI
• Lean why a fragmented approach using multiple tools is not going to be enough
• Learn how AI Agents can help you govern your data more rapidly
• Find out why a data governance action framework is needed to move towards creating a Data Governance Command Centre
