For forty years, every data decision meant picking a side: operational or analytical, governed or self-service, relational or unstructured, aggregated or federated. AI did not add a fifth choice. It made all four unavoidable at once, while inference costs quietly crowd out the software budgets that used to fund everything else.In this session, Matthieu Jonglez argues that the winners of the AI era...
