Although generative artificial intelligence may offer a variety of productive use cases, it’s not without its downsides. One annoying downside is generative AI’s ability to hallucinate results, spitting out inaccuracies and useless code. AI governance and well-defined blueprints help stop these issues.

Informatica Inc.’s partnership with Databricks Inc. is bringing innovative products, such as DBRX and IDMC, to the ecosystem, helping with both data management and governance and allowing for seamless and accurate AI integration, according to Rik Tamm-Daniels (pictured), global vice president of ecosystem alliances and technology at Informatica.

Informatica’s Rik Tamm-Daniels talks with theCUBE about AI governance innovations.

“Then we also look at things like security, making sure that users only see the data they’re allowed to see — that’s critical as well, and ultimately creating the infrastructure, the scaffolding,” Tamm-Daniels said. “How do you do that in a very scalable way, a no-code way? The great thing is our platform is really well-positioned to deliver on all those elements.”

Tamm-Daniels spoke with theCUBE Research’s John Furrier and Savannah Peterson at the Data + AI Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Informatica’s growing partnership with Databricks, what capabilities the new integrated products bring to the platform and what Informatica is focusing on for the future.

AI governance: Harnessing AI without the headaches

Informatica’s partnership with Databricks allows companies to receive comprehensive data management and analytics solutions, with features such as data cleansing and validation and machine learning integration, ensuring efficient and simple AI capabilities. This is achieved through constant collaboration and coordination between the two, according to Tamm-Daniels.

“It’s a big part of our approach … we have new innovations coming to market, like we just announced the full verification of support for Unity Catalog across our entire platform,” Tamm-Daniels said. “That’s because we’re coordinated. We’re aligned with them. We understand what’s coming next and what’s going to be most important for customers.”

Informatica also has its sights set firmly on the future, recognizing the ever-growing potential of generative AI. Bringing its capabilities to edge devices, into the pocket of nearly every connected person, is a big goal.

“I think some of other ecosystem players, where they’re embedding copilots and things like that, there’s some really unique opportunities that are going to be presented as customers start to get to the true enterprise adoption,” Tamm-Daniels said.
