In this episode, he calls out how proprietary BI tools quietly lock companies into their ecosystems, making data less open and less useful. David and Demetrios debate whether semantic layers should live in open-source hands and how AI agents might soon replace entire chunks of manual data engineering. From feature stores to LLM-driven analytics, this conversation challenges how we think about ownership, access, and the future of data workflows.// BioExperienced and world-renowned data, technology, and AI leader.
