Speakers
Description
- Clarifying why single-model strategies fall short in safety-critical, regulated operations, for reducing operational and compliance risk, to protect uptime and trust.
- Explaining how a flexible data integration layer enables model choice across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments, for avoiding vendor lock-in, to match the right model to each operational task.
- Demonstrating how to integrate geospatial, operational, and external data into an AI-ready foundation, for improving context and retrieval quality, to increase accuracy and adoption in real workflows.
- Introducing Model Context Protocol and the shift toward decoupling data from models, for adapting as models and regulations change, to add new capabilities without re-architecting the data layer.
