Navigating Data Governance in the Age of Generative AI

In the rapidly evolving world of data analytics, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has sparked a debate: Are LLMs signaling the end of traditional data analytics? This session delves into the heart of this question, exploring the fundamental workings of LLMs and their transformative impact on the analytics landscape. Attendees will gain insights into the advantages and potential pitfalls of integrating LLMs into their data strategies. We'll discuss the innovative use cases LLMs unlock and emphasize the paramount importance of governance and lineage in harnessing their full potential. Whether you're intrigued by the brilliance of LLMs or wary of their implications, this session will equip you with a balanced perspective to navigate the future of data analytics.
