Topic: Why Your Agents Are Wrong:

Context as the Missing Governance Layer

Enterprise AI agents answer business questions correctly only about one in five times when they lack a governed context layer, a finding independently confirmed by both Snowflake and Anthropic. The problem isn't the model; it's that we hand agents schemas and expect semantics. This session examines why context is the real constraint on enterprise AI, how it gets built both manually and through automation, and where human judgment remains irreplaceable. The takeaway: governance is no longer an initiative requiring justification, it's the accuracy layer for AI, and the discipline that produces it has moved onto the critical path.

Speaker: John Tatman

An AI Solutions Specialist at Snowflake focused on working with organizations in Financial Services and Insurance industries. His team specializes in helping organizations design and evaluate enterprise AI/ML solutions built on Snowflake's Cortex platform. John is based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
