AI is everywhere - but what does it actually mean in practice?
Join Will Martin, AI Evangelist, for a clear, practical walkthrough of modern AI - based on his upcoming book AI for Dummies (and actually) - and how it fits into your data stack and lakehouse.
🚀 In this session:
- What Agentic AI really is (and how it differs from LLMs)
- How LLMs work under the hood (tokens, embeddings, context)
- When to use fine-tuning, RAG, or prompt engineering
- How MCP connects AI to your data, APIs, and lakehouse
- Key benefits, risks, and real-world considerations
Cut through the hype and understand how AI actually works - and how to use it.
Next up: Olena Kutsenko
Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent, Olena will explore how Iceberg, Kafka, Flink, and Tableflow come together—and what that means in the world of AI.
Expect a practical perspective on building scalable, real-time data architectures that power modern AI use cases.
About Olena:

🔍 What to expect:
- Why data silos break AI agents
- How the lakehouse, federation, and semantic layer fit together
- The role of Apache Iceberg, open catalogs, and modern architectures
- Why agents need context, not just data
- A practical roadmap toward autonomous, AI-driven analytics
Expect a sharp, architecture-focused session connecting modern data platforms with the future of AI.
