Prerequisite: None
This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.
In the first hour of the movie “Jaws,” the local residents are frightened but have not actually seen the shark. In a dramatic scene, the town sheriff finally sees the animal and—for the first time—he understands that it is much larger and far more dangerous than any shark he has ever seen. He backs away from the encounter in shock and memorably says to the captain, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
When it comes to the data platform, AI is like that shark. We—like the movie audience in the first hour of Jaws—know that AI is out there, interacting with an ever-increasing population of users. But in most companies AI is not yet interacting heavily with the enterprise data platform(s).
In this presentation, Richard Winter will discuss what will happen over the next year or two as many organizations implement their AI strategies at scale. Many will unleash demands on the enterprise data platforms far beyond anything we have seen in the past.
Winter will cover what will happen, why the impact on the enterprise data platform(s) is likely to be so large, and what to do about it. The bottom line is this: you can’t afford to wait until those unprecedented demands materialize.
Instead, as a data leader, you want to assess AI demands in advance and prepare your data architecture to handle them. Otherwise, you risk finding that the data architecture is blocking the success of AI initiatives that are critically important to the success of the enterprise.
