The future of Data Engineering in the Age of Generative AI

Abstract:

Generative AI is reshaping the future of data engineering—shifting the focus from manual pipeline development to intelligent, intent-driven automation. This talk explores how large language models and agentic tools are transforming how we build and manage data systems. With a focus on architectural patterns, evolving toolchains like BigQuery and Google Gemini, and the changing role of data engineers, we’ll discuss how to stay ahead in this new AI-augmented landscape. Attendees will gain practical insights into adopting generative workflows without the need for complex demos or hands-on implementations.
