What you'll learn

Understand the risks of data teams becoming AI reviewers

Trace an AI report to see why checking its sources, definitions, method, and conclusion is real work.

Route questions before analysis starts

Use our simple framework to choose whether analysis is declined, served by AI, or owned by humans on the data team.

Make AI self-serve trustworthy

Identify the access rules, business context, traces, and evals needed for AI to answer without a review queue.

Define what data people own

Focus human judgment on framing decisions and leading hard analyses instead of reviewing every AI output.

Why this topic matters

Anyone can now ask AI for an analysis. What does that mean for the data team? How will their job change? Who will excel. We’ll use a realistic case to decide what AI can answer, what needs review, and what data people must lead. You’ll leave with a framework and a clearer view of the new work data teams own.
