In this session, discover how effective data movement is foundational to successful GenAI implementations. As organizations rush to adopt AI technologies, many struggle with the infrastructure needed to manage the massive influx of unstructured data these systems require. Jim Kutz, Head of Data at Airbyte, draws from 20+ years of experience leading data teams at companies like Grafana, CircleCI, and BlackRock to demonstrate how modern data movement architectures can enable secure, compliant GenAI applications. Learn practical approaches to data sovereignty, metadata management, and privacy controls that transform data governance into an enabler for AI innovation. This session will explore how you can securely leverage your most valuable asset—first-party data—for GenAI applications while maintaining complete control over sensitive information. Walk away with actionable strategies for building an AI-ready data infrastructure that balances innovation with governance requirements.
