AI Can Do It - But Should It? Making Smart Decisions in Business Intelligence

AI can write your SQL, build dashboards, even suggest next steps. But as data leaders, we have to ask: is that enough?

In this talk from the Disruptive Data Leadership Summit, I explore one of the most important questions in modern analytics: what role should AI play in Business Intelligence—and where do humans still lead?

Learn the difference between assistive vs. autonomous AI, how tools like Tableau Agent and ChatGPT are reshaping dashboards, and why human insight, storytelling, and strategic thinking remain irreplaceable. 

Topics Covered:

• How AI is impacting data visualization and dashboard design
• Where human context adds irreplaceable value
• Why data storytelling is the most powerful skill in analytics
• Real-world examples of AI in action
