TAKEAWAY - Think Like a Librarian: Why the Reference Interview Is the Framework Data Teams Are Missing with Jenna Jordan and Amalia Child

Q: How do we do? Anything we missed?

The team acknowledges that there is more to cover and emphasizes the need to continue refining the approach, ensuring domain expertise and a clear translation from business requests to data requirements.

AI Governance Is Everyone's Problem (And That's Actually Good News) with Kierra Dotson

Q: Will most companies have an AI collaboration charter in the next two years?

It's unlikely for most to have fully mature charters so soon; many organizations struggle with data governance and other governance domains, so widespread adoption will take time, though momentum is growing.

AI Governance Is Everyone's Problem (And That's Actually Good News) with Kierra Dotson

Q: Is AI governance harder than cybersecurity governance?

Generally similar in core concepts, but cybersecurity presents a larger, arguably infinite attack surface, making it harder in practice; AI governance is a sector within security and will continue to converge with cybersecurity practices.

AI Governance Is Everyone's Problem (And That's Actually Good News) with Kierra Dotson

Q: Should every engineer have governance somewhere in their job description?

Yes. Governance should be part of engineering responsibilities, not a separate activity, because engineers are often the first to be blamed in incidents and must build with governance in mind.

The Data Hygienist with Thais Cooke

Q: How did you get into data and what advice would you give to others trying to enter the field?

Thais describes her accidental path from dentistry to data, emphasizes self-learning (SQL, visualization tools), and stresses the value of domain expertise combined with data skills as a way to accelerate impact.
