For the past few years, we've seen the importance of data literacy and why organizations must invest in a data-driven culture, mindset, and skillset. However, as generative AI tools like ChatGPT have risen to prominence in the past year, AI literacy has never been more important. But how do we begin to approach AI literacy? Is it an extension of data literacy, a complement, or a new paradigm altogether? How should you get started on your AI literacy ambitions?  Cindi Howson is the Chief Data Strategy Officer at ThoughtSpot and host of The Data Chief podcast. Cindi is a data analytics, AI, and BI thought leader and an expert with a flair for bridging business needs with technology. As Chief Data Strategy Officer at ThoughtSpot, she advises top clients on data strategy and best practices to become data-driven, speaks internationally on top trends such as AI ethics, and influences ThoughtSpot’s product strategy.

Cindi was previously a Gartner Research Vice President, the lead author for the data and analytics maturity model and analytics and BI Magic Quadrant, and a popular keynote speaker. She introduced new research in data and AI for good, NLP/BI Search, and augmented analytics, bringing both BI bake-offs and innovation panels to Gartner globally. She’s frequently quoted in MIT, Harvard Business Review, and Information Week. She is rated a top 12 influencer in big data and analytics by Analytics Insight, Onalytca, Solutions Review, and Humans of Data.

In the episode, Cindi and Adel discuss how generative AI accelerates an organization’s data literacy, how leaders can think beyond data literacy and start to think about AI literacy, the importance of responsible use of AI, how to best communicate the value of AI within your organization, what generative AI means for data teams, AI use-cases in the data space, the psychological barriers blocking AI adoption, and much more.

Data Caching Strategies for Data Analytics and AI

he increasing popularity of data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) has led to a dramatic increase in the volume of data being used in these fields, creating a growing need for an enhanced computational capability. Cache plays a crucial role as an accelerator for data and AI computations, but it is important to note that these domains have different data access patterns, requiring different cache strategies. In this session, you will see our observations on data access patterns in the analytical SQL and AI training domains based on practical experience with large-scale systems. We will discuss the evaluation results of various caching strategies for analytical SQL and AI and provide caching recommendations for different use cases. Over the years, we have learned some best practices from big internet companies about the following aspects of our journey:

  1. Traffic pattern for analytical SQL and cache strategy recommendation
  2. Traffic pattern for AI training and how we can measure the cache efficiency for different AI training process
  3. Cache capacity planning based on real-time metrics of the working set
  4. Adaptive caching admission and eviction for uncertain traffic patterns

Data Democratization at Michelin

Too often business decisions in large organizations are based on time consuming and labor-intensive data extracts, fragile Excel or access sheets that require significant manual intervention. The teams that prepare these manual reports have invaluable heuristic knowledge that, when combined with meaningful data and tools, can make smart business decisions. Imagine a world where these business teams are empowered with tools that help them build meaningful reports despite their limited technical expertise.

In this session, we will discuss: - The value derived from investing in developing citizen data personas within a business organization - How we successfully built a citizen data analytics culture within Michelin - Real examples of the impact of this initiative on the business and on the people themselves

The audience will walk away with some convincing arguments for building a citizen data culture in their organization and a how-to cookbook that they can use to cultivate citizen data personas. Finally, they can interactively uncover key success factors in the case of Michelin that can help drive a similar initiative in their respective companies.

Learnings From the Field: Migration From Oracle DW and IBM DataStage to Databricks on AWS

Legacy data warehouses are costly to maintain, unscalable and cannot deliver on data science, ML and real-time analytics use cases. Migrating from your enterprise data warehouse to Databricks lets you scale as your business needs grow and accelerate innovation by running all your data, analytics and AI workloads on a single unified data platform.

In the first part of this session we will guide you through the well-designed process and tools that will help you from the assessment phase to the actual implementation of an EDW migration project. Also, we will address ways to convert PL/SQL proprietary code to an open standard python code and take advantage of PySpark for ETL workloads and Databricks SQL’s data analytics workload power.

The second part of this session will be based on an EDW migration project of SNCF (French national railways); one of the major enterprise customers of Databricks in France. Databricks partnered with SNCF to migrate its real estate entity from Oracle DW and IBM DataStage to Databricks on AWS. We will walk you through the customer context, urgency to migration, challenges, target architecture, nitty-gritty details of implementation, best practices, recommendations, and learnings in order to execute a successful migration project in a very accelerated time frame.

Self-Service Data Analytics and Governance at Enterprise Scale with Unity Catalog

This session focuses on one of the first Unity Catalog implementations for a large-scale enterprise. In this scenario, a cloud scale analytics platform with 7500 active users based on the lakehouse approach is used. In addition, there is potential for 1500 further users who are subject to special governance rules. They are consuming more than 600 TB of data stored in Delta Lake - continuously growing at more than 1TB per day. This might grow due to local country data. Therefore, the existing data platform must be extended to enable users to combine global and local data from their countries. A new data management was required, which reflects the strict information security rules at a need to know base. Core requirements are: read only from global data, write into local and share the results.

Due to a very pronounced information security awareness and a lack of the technological possibilities it was not possible to interdisciplinary analyze and exchange data so easy or at all so far. Therefore, a lot of business potential and gains could not be identified and realized.

With the new developments in the technology used and the basis of the lakehouse approach, thanks to Unity Catalog, we were able to develop a solution that could meet high requirements for security and process. And enables globally secured interdisciplinary data exchange and analysis at scale. This solution enables the democratization of the data. This results not only in the ability to gain better insights for business management, but also to generate entirely new business cases or products that require a higher degree of data integration and encourage the culture to change. We highlight technical challenges and solutions, present best practices and point out benefits of implementing Unity catalog for enterprises.

Writing Data-Sharing Apps Using Node.js and Delta Sharing

JavaScript remains the top programming language today with most code repositories written using JavaScript on GitHub. However, JavaScript is evolving beyond just a language for web application development into a language built for tomorrow. Everyday tasks like data wrangling, data analysis, and predictive analytics are possible today directly from a web browser. For example, many popular data analytics libraries, like Tensorflow.js, now support JavaScript SDKs.

Another popular library, Danfo.js, makes it possible to wrangle data using familiar pandas-like operations, shortening the learning curve and arming the typical data engineer or data scientist with another data tool in their toolbox. In this presentation, we’ll explore using the Node.js connector for Delta Sharing to build a data analytics app that summarizes a Twitter dataset.
