Three answers, one simple question Description: Find your AI data maturity stage

Ad copy

A CEO asks how many active customers the company has. Finance says one number, sales says another, ops says a third — same thread. That's why AI pilots stall before production. In this session, Russell Christopher (dbt Labs) and Petyo Pahunchev (Infinite Lambda) walk through the five stages of AI data maturity, and what it takes to move up one. Sept 2 & 3, global-friendly times.
