Office Hours: Governed AI Workflows with AIDA Skills and Guardrails

Scaling generative AI across enterprise data comes with significant risk: without granular controls, unmonitored agentic workflows can bypass governance, hallucinate business context, or expose sensitive datasets. Empowering teams with conversational analytics requires enterprise-grade guardrails baked directly into the data layer.

Join Starburst for this dedicated Office Hours session exploring Governed AI Workflows with AIDA Skills and Guardrails. In this live walkthrough, Starburst experts will showcase how AIDA (AI Data Assistant) bridges the gap between natural language discovery and enterprise data governance, ensuring AI models and agentic workflows operate securely within verified business parameters.

You will see firsthand how to configure custom skills, apply strict governance guardrails, and enable trusted, conversational analytics across your modern lakehouse without compromising security or compliance.

What You’ll Learn:

• Operationalizing AIDA Skills: Build and assign specific analytical capabilities to AI assistants to automate routine data exploration and query generation safely.
• Enterprise Guardrails & Access Control: Enforce role-based access, data masking, and contextual constraints directly at the data lakehouse foundation.
• Context-Aware Analytics: Ensure AI-generated insights align with defined business semantics, preventing hallucinations and inaccurate query translations.
• Auditing & Telemetry: Track, monitor, and audit AI-driven analytical activity and agent interactions across enterprise environments.

Whether you are an analytics engineer, data architect, CDO, or security lead, this session offers a tactical blueprint for adopting agentic workflows and AI-driven data products with total confidence and compliance.
