GenAI is changing how AI and data teams work together. Before, data scientists focused on models and algorithms, using tools like R. Now, the focus is on gathering all data in one place for frameworks like RAG and ensuring it’s accurate and reliable. This shift is bringing teams closer, aligning their goals. It’s also pushing data management vendors to go beyond ETL and offer solutions for more users and use cases.
