Your AI model is only as smart as the data it trusts. And right now, it trusts too much.
Schema drift, undocumented semantics, unclear ownership – these are the silent killers of production AI. Data Contracts are the fix the industry has been slow to adopt. Contract-First development is not a data governance exercise – it is a prerequisite for intelligent, reliable AI systems.
This talk explores a feedback loop in both directions: Data Contracts stabilize and contextualize AI pipelines; AI, in return, makes contracts smarter by detecting anomalies and evolving semantics automatically.
Attendees leave with a new mental model and a concrete architectural principle to take back to their teams.
