• Talk about how Gable works through a 3-layer flow of technology which is to identify data production points, trace the data flow and communicate the impact of changes before they reach production.
• Explain why the gap between data producers and consumers need to be bridged and how Gable continues to emphasize the need for effective communication and understanding data change management across teams
• Shine light on how AI can enhance data management by extracting semantics from code and effectively manage the translation output.
• Discuss Chad’s vision for 2025 which is to help companies start to care about data and how the changes made to data affect other people.
