Multi-agent systems aren't new architecture—they're microservices evolved. Varun Jasti of AWS explains why Apache Kafka is the natural backbone for agent-to-agent communication at scale.

Most organizations are investing heavily in AI—but the outputs still aren’t reliable. The reason often isn’t the model. It’s the data pipeline behind it. Disconnected systems, inconsistent preparation, and limited governance make it difficult for AI to produce accurate answers. Before AI can deliver real value, the data feeding it must be structured, contextualized, and governed. In this animation, we break down the 5 Pillars of AI-Ready Data and show how data moves through a connected pipeline before it reaches AI.

Data trust is broken. In the "good old days," one expert vetted one dashboard. Today? You have massive scale and AI models that need accurate data to survive. Jessica Talisman joins Cindi Howson on The Data & AI Chief to reveal why the ontology pipeline is the secret sauce for trustworthy AI. Learn how structural clarity turns data chaos into your biggest competitive advantage. Catch the full discussion on your preferred podcast player!

Everyone is investing in AI, but most teams are blocked by one thing: their data isn’t ready. Data is scattered across SaaS tools, pipelines break silently, and insights are delayed. Without fresh, reliable, and centralized data, AI models, dashboards, and real-time use cases simply don’t work.

AI ambition is everywhere. The models are ready, the investment is flowing, yet the outcomes aren’t keeping up. Cloudera’s Data Readiness Index 2026 survey identifies a widening gap between what enterprises want from AI and what they can actually deliver. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Cloudera CTO Sergio Gago to bring a practitioner’s lens to the problem, drawing on experience across the full spectrum from startups to global enterprises.

In part 4 of this series, Mike Tarallo form Qlik, walks you through the core components of Qlik Datasets, giving you a clear understanding of how to navigate and interpret key features within the platform. We explore the Profile tab, Data Lineage, Impact Analysis, and Data Preview to see how each helps you better understand your data and its flow across systems.

NKT makes the “electrical superhighways” that bring renewable energy to city consumers. Its 24/7 site in Karlskrona, Sweden is the world’s largest producer of high voltage undersea cables, making operational stability vital. However, the plant faced hurdles. Data was trapped in silos, leading to intuition-based decisions with no single source of truth.

You have the data. You just can't get to the answer. That changes now. Databox is an AI-powered analytics platform built to give teams clear, trusted answers, fast. No waiting. No spreadsheet tabs. No "I'll loop in Mark.".
