“Data is the new oil,” but crude oil is worthless until it’s refined. AI now sits inside the software delivery pipeline: coding assistants, internal chatbots, and agents that write, review, and ship code. They’re only as good as the data behind them, and most company data is crude: duplicated, stale, and noisy. This talk explains what refining data really means and how it raises the quality of the software AI helps deliver. You’ll learn to treat data like code (versioned, tested, and gated in CI) so that better data turns into better software.
