9:50 AM Keynote Presentation: Architecting for AI at Scale: How to design a data ecosystem that promotes support scalable, business-driven AI delivery
As AI use cases expand, many organisations are finding that existing architectures are not designed to support the scale, speed and complexity required. Balancing centralised control with domain-level flexibility is becoming a critical architectural challenge. This session will explore how organisations are evolving their architectures to support AI delivery at scale.
- How to design data ecosystems that balance standardisation with domain-level flexibility
- How to enable scalable AI delivery through effective architecture and integration patterns
- How to align platform design to real business use cases rather than isolated experimentation
