This session explores how enterprise data platforms need to evolve as AI becomes a consumer of data alongside people and applications. In this session, we’ll examine why AI readiness is fundamentally a data architecture challenge, how open architectures can reduce unnecessary data movement and vendor dependency, and why trusted, governed data must become accessible to both business users and AI agents. Attendees will leave with three key insights: why the data foundation matters more than the AI model, why the future is shifting from moving data to making it accessible where it lives, and how AI is changing the way organizations consume and interact with enterprise data.
