Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 2 - Tuesday 22 September

11:30 AM Panel Discussion – Automating the Data Engine: Making CEOs Actually Invest in Data

Every organisation says data is strategic, yet most still run on brittle pipelines, stale datasets, and underfunded infrastructure. As automation, real time AI systems, and agentic workflows explode, the gap between what models need and what data teams receive is widening fast. In this panel, speakers will unpack what “automated data” truly requires today, how to quantify its ROI, and how to build foundations that make Responsible AI actually possible.

• Quantifying ROI to make data investment unavoidable.
• Automating pipelines for reliable, real time data readiness.
• Building infrastructure that enables safe, scalable Responsible AI.
