Agentic AI, the next evolution of intelligent systems, is changing how organizations utilize and operationalize analytics and AI. Organizations are beginning to explore intelligent agents that can reason using context, coordinate tasks, and adapt analytical processes in real time. Solutions are already coming to market that provide agents for data science, data engineering, and monitoring tasks—including automating data preparation, pipeline orchestration, and model management to make analytics more autonomous and responsive.
In this expert panel webinar, we’ll examine how agentic AI is being applied within the analytics and AI workflow to make pipelines more intelligent and action-oriented. Topics include:
- How agentic AI can automate and optimize data and model workflows
- Examples of how agentic AI can advance analytics and AI workflows
- Architectural patterns for embedding agentic capabilities into modern data platforms
- Governance, observability, and controls for autonomous analytics systems
