AI adoption has exploded, but governance maturity hasn’t caught up. Most enterprises are experimenting with GenAI and agentic AI before the guardrails, lineage, and organizational models are ready to support them. In doing so, they risk exposing sensitive data, generating inconsistent outputs, and building AI systems that drift from business truth.
In this expert panel hosted by TDWI, governance leaders from AtScale, Dataiku, and Fivetran break down what actually works today. They discuss hybrid governance models, semantic consistency, automated lineage, risk-tiering, and the human oversight required to keep AI explainable and safe.
You’ll learn why centralized governance alone is too slow, fully federated governance is too chaotic, and why a hub-and-spoke operating model supported by shared semantics and domain accountability is emerging as the clear winner.
What You’ll Learn
- Where organizations truly stand on data vs. AI governance maturity
- Why trust in unstructured data remains low and how this impacts GenAI readiness
- How hybrid “hub-and-spoke” governance enables both speed and control across domains
- How semantic layers anchor AI outputs in consistent business definitions
- Where automation reliably reduces governance risk and where human judgment is still essential
- What enterprises must prepare for now with agentic AI before scaling autonomously acting systems
Why Watch
Modern enterprises face accelerating pressure to deploy AI. But doing so without governance invites legal, ethical, and operational risk. This webinar cuts through the noise and shows the practical governance patterns that organizations are adopting today to safely scale analytics, machine learning, GenAI, and agentic systems.
Whether you’re defining standards, building data products, modernizing governance, or preparing for autonomous AI, this session gives you the frameworks and organizational models needed to move forward with confidence.
