AI pilots are everywhere but most enterprises still can’t trust the outputs. LLMs hallucinate, drift from source truth, and deliver inconsistent answers because they lack the one thing BI has always required: governed business context.
In this webinar, AtScale CTO Dave Mariani and the EDM Association unpack how semantic layers move AI from experimentation to production by grounding models in the same logic that powers trusted analytics.
A semantic layer defines business metrics once, enforces lineage, and serves every consumer—BI dashboards, Excel users, and autonomous agents without rework or duplication.
What You’ll Learn
• Why AI fails without governed business context
• How semantic layers eliminate hallucinations and inconsistency
• How to unify BI and GenAI under a single semantic model
• Practical steps to operationalize explainable, production-grade AI
• How Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects LLMs to trusted data
Why Watch
Enterprises don’t need bigger models, they need smarter systems. This session shows how to apply semantics as the foundation of trustworthy AI and move from pilots to real value.
