Delivering Reliable Data and AI Systems
Hosted by Monte Carlo Data
In 2026, data and AI leaders will be measured by the success of their AI initiatives. Yet, most pilots fail or fade away as data and AI systems constantly change — data drifts, pipelines break, prompts shift and models update.
Join this town hall to discuss:
- Closing the loop between data and AI
- Monitoring AI agent components
- Managing cost and latency
