As organizations accelerate their adoption of Generative AI and AI Agents, one challenge continues to limit success: trust. AI Agents can only deliver value when they are powered by governed, high-quality, and enterprise-ready data. In this session, we will explore how Oracle AIDP Workbench provides the foundation required to build trusted AI Agents at scale. Attendees will learn how a modern data platform enables AI Agents to access consistent metrics, curated data products, and secure enterprise knowledge – transforming fragmented data into reliable enterprise intelligence. Through live demo examples, we will demonstrate how Oracle AIDP workbench transforms raw data from different types of data sources into governed data that can be consumed by Generative AI and AI Agents.
