Applied AI Ethics MonthlyMixer - Where Innovation Meets Responsibility
Melody Chien @ Gartner

As AI shapes business decisions, making unstructured data AI-ready is a key governance priority. The quality, accessibility and security of unstructured data directly determine the performance of AI applications, particularly for GenAI. To unlock its value for AI initiatives, data and business leaders should evolve their governance strategies to effectively manage, protect and utilize unstructured data, ensuring it is AI-ready while meeting compliance and security requirements.

Data governance has traditionally encompassed analytics governance, managing most risks and value in traditional analytics. However, AI introduces new risks and considerations that D&A governance may not be equipped for. Should D&A governance evolve to govern AI or is it time for a separate discipline with a fresh mandate? This session explores conflicting accountabilities, leadership and operating models between these disciplines.

AI/ML Analytics Data Governance

Session: The future of enterprise intelligence is autonomous. This presentation covers how data agents powered by Azure AI and Semantic Kernel redefine smart workflows, enabling planning, reasoning, and collaboration for data exploration, anomaly detection, pipeline automation, and real-time decision support. It shows how Semantic Kernel provides memory and orchestration, while Azure AI powers the intelligence behind outcomes. A live demo demonstrates autonomous data agents transforming raw data into actionable insights, delivering efficiency, scalability, and governance without manual intervention. You'll learn how to design and deploy agentic AI workflows that move from data to decisions quickly and at scale.

As AI evolves from passive tools to active collaborators, enterprises face a pivotal shift: embracing systems that can not only respond but also take initiative. This webinar unpacks what it means to build and deploy agentic AI—models that possess goal-directed reasoning, dynamic planning capabilities, and the ability to autonomously execute tasks across complex workflows.

We’ll explore architectural and governance considerations for enterprise adoption, including how to integrate agentic systems into existing data ecosystems, ensure transparency and control, and maintain human-in-the-loop oversight. Join us for a practical, forward-looking discussion on how to prepare your organization for AI that doesn’t just assist—but acts.

What You'll Learn:

1️⃣ What Agentic AI Really Means: Understand the core components—reasoning, planning, and autonomous action—and how they differ from traditional AI assistants.

2️⃣ Enterprise Readiness: Learn what technical and organizational infrastructure you need to safely and effectively deploy agentic systems.

3️⃣ Designing for Oversight and Control: Explore observability, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop strategies for managing proactive AI in production environments.

Panelists to be announced soon.
