Did we get ahead of ourselves by focusing purely on Generative AI before perfecting the robust data fundamentals that the best AI workloads are built on? 🤔
My keynote from @allthingsopen "AI Should Not Replace Well-Built Data Fundamentals," argues that true AI innovation comes from workloads built ON TOP of strong data fundamentals, not in place of them.
I dive into how you can use AI tools (like #GeminiCLI) alongside foundational #OpenSource tools (like ASF's #Iceberg) to establish the essential scalability, flexibility, and interoperability required for modern, large-scale AI success.
You can't have an effective AI strategy without a well-built data strategy.
