The governance playbook for agentic data engineering
The Agentic Era is here. Is your governance ready?
AI agents are quickly moving from experimental to production across data teams — writing transformations, resolving pipeline errors, generating documentation, and automating routine operations. But as agents take on more responsibility, the governance question becomes urgent: who's accountable when an agent makes a change? How do you maintain compliance when pipelines are being built autonomously? And how do you get the speed benefits of agentic workflows without losing control?
In this 45-minute session, Ascend.io CEO Sean Knapp will walk through a practical playbook for governing agents operating in your data stack without sacrificing the speed and autonomy that make them valuable. You'll learn:
- Why traditional data governance models break down
- The core pillars of an agentic governance framework
- How to design human-in-the-loop patterns
By the end of this session, you'll have a clear path for adopting AI agents across your data stack with the right controls in place from day one.
A new framework for governing AI in your data stack
Why traditional governance breaks down with AI agents
Existing data governance models were built for human-driven workflows. Discover where they fall short when autonomous agents are writing code, managing dependencies, and deploying changes — and what needs to change.
A governance framework built for agentic workflows
From guardrails and approval patterns to lineage tracking and audit trails — the core components every data team needs to govern AI-driven pipelines without slowing them down.
Balancing speed with control in practice
See how leading data teams are designing human-in-the-loop patterns that keep agents fast and autonomous while maintaining the oversight, compliance, and trust your organization requires.
Built for data leaders navigating AI adoption
Whether you're evaluating AI agents for your data stack or already deploying them, this session gives you a practical governance lens to lead with confidence.
