2025-05-12 · gartner-data-analytics-uk-2025

talk

with Rebecca O’Kill (Axis Capital) , Tim Gasper (data.world from ServiceNow) , Juan Sequeda (data.world)

AI/ML Data Governance

As enterprises race to unlock AI, many face barriers like poor metadata and weak governance. In this session, Rebecca O’Kill (CDAO of Axis Capital), Tim Gasper, and Juan Sequeda share how AI is not just the outcome of governance—it’s the incentive. Framing AI as the “carrot” motivates adoption of governance as a strategic enabler. Learn how AI-powered governance, data marketplaces, and knowledge graphs together provide context, drive smarter metadata, and enable impactful AI use cases like underwriting agents that require structured and unstructured data.
