Data Centers, AI Agent Errors and the Meaning of Data
Techstrong Gang
•
44m
Explore three connected enterprise-AI questions: how communities shape data-center expansion, where IT agents can introduce errors, and why shared data definitions matter. The panel considers the gap between infrastructure promises and local outcomes, then examines AWS's cloud-operations agent and Chris Blask's error-plane framework.
Microsoft and Google's support for Apache Ossie frames the final discussion about portable semantic models. Interoperability can reduce inconsistent interpretations, but it does not remove the need for governance and human accountability.
Host: Mike Vizard. Guests: Jack Gold, Chris Blask and Jon Swartz.
