Enterprises are racing to deploy AI, but many are discovering that trusted BI foundations are necessary—and no longer sufficient. In this session, Joe DosSantos, Vice President of Enterprise Data and Analytics, shares why AI fails when facts, metrics, and context are inconsistently defined, and why semantics has become an operational requirement, not a governance afterthought. Drawing on Workday’s experience modernizing analytics consumption, learn how semantic alignment improves decision speed, reduces BI bottlenecks, and enables reliable agent-based experiences.
