Episode Description
Snowflake VP of Product Management Chris Child joins Tristan Handy to unpack Snowflake's AI roadmap and what it means for data teams. They discuss the evolution from Snowpark to Cortex and Snowflake Intelligence, how to govern agents with row- and column-level controls, and why Snowflake is investing in Apache Iceberg and the Open Semantic Interchange initiative (dbt Labs recently open sourced MetricsFlow, the technology that powers the dbt Semantic Layer, to align with the goals of OSI). Chris also shares a vision for the next five years of data engineering: fewer bespoke pipelines, more standardization and semantics, and a bigger focus on business context and data products.
