[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Securing the Data Layer: Privacy, Compliance, and Trust in AI-Driven Pipelines

Wednesday September 10, 2025 10:00am - 10:50am PDT

VIRTUAL DataWeek -- Main Stage

Advait Patel, Broadcom, Senior Site Reliability Engineer

As organizations scale AI-driven applications and cloud-native pipelines, data privacy and compliance have become top concerns, not just for legal teams, but for developers and data engineers too. With regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and the AI Act taking shape, teams need to rethink how data flows through their ML lifecycle.

In this session, Advait Patel, a cloud security engineer and contributor to the Cloud Security Alliance’s AI Control Matrix, will explore how to architect secure and compliant data pipelines for AI and analytics workloads. From ingestion and transformation to model training and inference, every layer presents unique risks, and unique opportunities to build trust.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Building New Cost-Effective Analytics Platform with Open Source tools for Fanatics

Wednesday September 10, 2025 11:00am - 11:50am PDT

VIRTUAL DataWeek -- Main Stage

Bhanu Cherukumille, Fanatics, Director - Data Engineering

At Fanatics, we previously relied on a mix of in-house, open-source, and commercial tools for Analytics and BI. To streamline and modernize our data ecosystem, we built a unified platform — a "one to rule them all" solution — powered entirely by an open-source stack: Kafka, StarRocks, and Superset. The result? A cost-effective, high-performance, and feature-rich platform that unlocks powerful new capabilities for the business.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): Leveraging Open Source AI Securely and Privately

Wednesday September 10, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm PDT

VIRTUAL DataWeek -- Main Stage

JJ Asghar, IBM, Developer Advocate

Honestly, you're probably jealous of those people saying "ChatGPT" is making their lives easier. You may think that leveraging AI is this generation's adoption of the calculator. I'm here to say yes, you are right, but let's be honest: we have no idea how the ChatGPTs of the world are trained or if they are secure.
If you run a technology company, your data is your secret sauce; if your boss found out you were leveraging ChatGPT to do your job, would they be happy? Probably not.
In this presentation, we will explore how LLMs work locally through hands-on activities, such as setting up some local open-source private and free LLMs to help you get closer to the promise of generative AI.
Overall, this presentation will start with some basic installation leveraging Ollama and VS Code or any of the JetBrains platforms (and you'll learn what that means and what the differences are!), then pull in AnythingLLM and/or OpenWebUI to help give you a straightforward chat-like interface to your LLM. We will provide you with the knowledge, tools, some generic prompts, and use cases to gain more confidence in your daily life by leveraging LLMs.
You'll walk out of the workshop with a working LLM that you can engage with no fees or usage, all locally and securely.

[Virtual] PRO WORKSHOP (DataWeek): From Data to Insights in Minutes: Accelerating Business Growth with AutoML and LLM-Powered Data Prep

Wednesday September 10, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT

VIRTUAL DataWeek -- Main Stage

Shailaja Sampat, Fujitsu Research of America, Senior Researcher

- Are you tired of manually processing large datasets in spreadsheets? 
- Have you considered using Machine Learning (ML) to automate your tasks but feel limited by your coding skills or time constraints?
 - Looking for ways to reduce the time spent in making your data AI-ready, despite your ML background?

If these challenges sound familiar, this session is for you!

Traditionally, building predictive models has required specialized coding and statistical expertise. Moreover, data professionals often dedicate over 80% of their time to the labor-intensive data-wrangling process- to prepare raw data for consumption by automated machine learning (AutoML) tools. To overcome these hurdles, we introduce AutoDW, an innovative data wrangler that utilizes the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) and sophisticated automation to facilitate the seamless preparation of AI-ready data. This session will demonstrate how the synergistic application of AutoDW and AutoML empowers users to rapidly develop predictive prototypes for their business use cases end-to-end without writing any code. Through step-by-step instruction and a live demonstration, attendees will witness AutoDW's intelligent data processing, observe AutoML's autonomous algorithm selection tailored to specific applications, and, most importantly, gain a comprehensive understanding of how to interpret the resulting predictive outputs.
