Data Foundation Problem Nobody Talks About By Selma Rahmoune Solution engineer at Snowflake

Selma, a solution engineer who works on AWS and Snowflake, reveals why so many teams get excited by a POC only to watch the whole thing fall apart the moment it meets real-world data, regulations, and access controls. She breaks down the biggest gap between AI demos and AI systems that actually work at scale, including why the fanciest LLM is rarely the real answer, how hallucinations often trace back to messy data engineering, and why least-privilege access is safer than giving an AI assistant room to "figure it out." If you're building anything with AI in production, this conversation is a wake-up call.
