## Resource

AI is only as strong as the data beneath it, and as it moves into the core of the enterprise, fragmented, duplicated, and poorly governed data is no longer hidden in the background, it’s amplified, exposed, and impossible to ignore. This week, Dave, Esmee, and Rob are joined by Edward Calvesbert, VP Product Management for IBM watsonx AI & Data Platform, to dig into the foundations of enterprise AI, from data silos and the SaaSpocalypse to lakehouse architectures and agent‑driven workflows.
