Most enterprise conversations around AI start with models, copilots, and agents. This conversation started somewhere else: the data foundation. Last week at Informatica World, I had the opportunity to sit down with Martí Ganduxé Pregona from Schneider Electric and Emilio Valdés from Informatica to discuss what it really takes for enterprises to move from AI experimentation to AI at scale on The Ravit Show!!!!

One theme came up repeatedly throughout our discussion:

AI is only as good as the data behind it.

We explored how the combination of Informatica and Salesforce is expanding the role of data management beyond traditional integration and governance into areas such as agent governance, workflows, and APIs.

We also talked about one of the most talked-about announcements from the event: Informatica Headless.

The idea is simple but powerful. As enterprises deploy more AI agents, they need a trusted layer that ensures those agents are working with accurate, governed, and compliant data.

A few insights from the conversation:

* Why trusted data is becoming the foundation of every AI strategy

* How enterprises are preparing for an agent-driven future

* Why data governance is becoming more important, not less, in the age of AI

* The growing need to balance innovation speed with compliance and security requirements

* What enterprise leaders are learning from one another as they navigate AI transformation

One thing was clear: the future isn't just about building smarter AI.

It's about building an organization that can trust the outputs AI produces.
