    Agents are taking over data! So what comes next? with Tristan Handy

    Agents will build data infrastructure at every layer and become its primary consumers. Tristan Handy, President and Co-founder of Fivetran / dbt Labs joins Juan and Tim where we unpack the big shift that is happening: teams need to move from working in the process (picking up individual tickets) to working on the process (building the factories that handle those tickets). In this episode, we break down what this means for data roles, why open components matter more than vendor stacks, and the socio-political problem nobody's talking about, deciding what counts as truth so your agents (and humans) ask the right questions in the first place. Topics discussed: Agents as builders and consumers  Data roles are collapsing From working IN to working ON  Loop building as the competitive advantage Business understanding beats technical specs  From humans in the loop to humans out of the loop  Open components over vendor stacks Defining truth is a political problem Data observability becomes business observability Real-time becomes necessary   Humans delegate outcomes, set goals, sit in control See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Speed, Cost, Quality: Pick All Three — Inside ServiceNow's Globalization Agent

    #Localization #Globalization #ServiceNow #AI A translation can be word-for-word accurate and still be completely wrong. In this episode, Bobby Brill sits down with Sam Smyth, Product Manager on the globalization side at ServiceNow, to get into what happens after you decide to go multilingual — the tools, the governance, and the quiet work nobody sees until it breaks. Sam spent fifteen years in localization operations and management before joining ServiceNow, and he's blunt about what actually goes wrong: it's rarely the translator. It's the content you sent them. We get into Localization Workspace, the new globalization agent that builds a glossary from your knowledge articles in minutes, why every customer still insists on a human in the loop, and the one mistake that will break your product UI in six languages at once.

    AI Inherits the Business Choices You Never Made with David Krauza

    AI doesn't create your problems. It inherits the business choices you never made and the results nobody owns. David Krauza, VP of Data Strategy and Governance at Comcast, joins Juan and Tim to make the case that most "data problems" aren't data problems at all. They are accountability problems, definition problems, assumption problems, and what-are-we-even-measuring problems. The fix isn't better tooling. Data teams are so focused on delivery that they never stop to ask what the business is actually trying to do. It's going to the C-suite, asking about the top three goals, and following the definitions until the cracks show up. Topics discussed: AI inherits your unmade decisions The output trap Definitions are the real foundation Talk to the business Data as a cost center vs. a value driver Single source of data, multiple versions of the truth Think like a product owner The revenge of the liberal arts majors See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Harvest Now, Decrypt Later: Why Quantum Is Already a Data Problem with John Licata

    Most quantum conversations are stuck on the timeline question: five years out? Two? Q-Day, the day current RSA encryption breaks, keeps getting pulled forward. But the actual risk to your data is already here. Adversaries are harvesting encrypted data today to decrypt it once quantum gets there. That makes this a data management problem right now. John Licata, ServiceNow's futures director and quantum lead joins Juan and Tim, to unpack what this actually means for enterprise data teams. They get into where quantum computing does things classical AI genuinely can't do well: drug discovery, supply chain simulation, personalized medicine, where the quantum + AI combination changes everything, and who even owns quantum strategy? CISO? COOs? But the real argument is on the business value topic, not just focusing on risk mitigation which is where the real argument lives right now.

    How Voice AI Learns to Understand You

    What did I say? What did I mean? Do you understand me? We ask each other those three questions constantly without noticing. Now we ask them of machines — and this episode is about what happens in the gap. Host Bobby Brill pulls together conversations with the ServiceNow linguists, research engineers, and AI governance leads working on voice, language, and chat, including a real recording of a voice agent failing in real time. Same words. Different meaning. And a machine in the middle trying to work out which one you intended. In this episode:Why a single English word carries no meaning without context, and what that does to translationHow a name that isn't in the training data breaks the first model in the chainThe three-model cascade behind every voice agent, and what gets lost at each handoffA voice agent that hears a confirmation code correctly three times and rejects it three timesWhy formality — tu or vous — is a fluency problem, not a grammar problemWho decides what's acceptable for an AI to say when the same word is fine in London and not in Chicago.
