As enterprise AI moves toward more autonomous, agentic capabilities, a critical question remains: who truly owns the data and semantic layers that power these systems? Join Startup Grind NYC for an intensive deep dive into the architecture of modern AI. This briefing explores the high-stakes tension between IT departments, business units, and model vendors regarding data control.
