Governed at the Speed of AI: Why Modern Data Platforms Make Governance Faster, Not Slower
For years, data governance and platform modernization have been treated as competing priorities one team pushing to ship faster on modern data platforms, another pushing to slow down and get it right. This session makes the case that in 2026, they've become the same conversation.
We’ll look at how the shift from traditional BI to AI/BI has made governed semantics a prerequisite for AI, not a compliance afterthought. We’ll cover why data quality, observability, and MDM matter more as AI agents start acting on data instead of just displaying it, and why most agentic AI failures to governance gaps, not technical ones. We’ll close with an underdiscussed shift: Modern data platforms move managed Postgres into their platforms in 2026, erasing the old wall between apps and analytics and what that means for governance going forward.
Expect a field-tested take, not theory: lessons from running governance and delivery teams at once, and a playbook for getting the business bought into governance without feeling slowed down.
