AI is everywhere, but what does it truly mean in practice? Dive into the world of AI with Will Martin, an esteemed AI Evangelist, as he offers a clear and practical walkthrough based on his upcoming book 'AI for Dummies (and actually)'. Learn how modern AI integrates with your data stack and lakehouse!

🚀 In this session, you’ll discover:

  • What Agentic AI really is (and how it differs from LLMs)
  • How LLMs function under the hood (tokens, embeddings, context)
  • When to utilize 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 delve into how Iceberg, Kafka, Flink, and Tableflow converge—and what implications this holds for the AI landscape. Expect a practical perspective on constructing scalable, real-time data architectures that fuel modern AI applications.

🛠 About Olena:

A Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent, with previous experience at Aiven and AWS, she brings extensive expertise in data streaming and modern data platforms.

🔍 And last but not least: Alex Merced

Head of DevRel and author at O’Reilly, Alex will share insights from his latest book on Agentic Analytics, focusing on how to build effective data platforms for AI.

What to look forward to:

  • Why data silos hinder AI agents
  • How the lakehouse, federation, and semantic layer interconnect
  • The role of Apache Iceberg, open catalogs, and contemporary architectures
  • Why agents require context, not just data
