Learn how Snowflake is expanding its partnership with Microsoft to bring OpenAI’s state-of-the-art models to Snowflake Cortex AI.

Over the past few years, Spark New Zealand has tackled the challenge of creating a strong data foundation by moving all of its data warehouses into Snowflake to create a centralised data platform. Now, explains Pritha Chattopadhyay, Domain Chapter Lead at Spark, this telecommunications leader and digital services provider is diving into artificial intelligence with the help of Snowflake Cortex AI. Tune in to learn about the benefits it provides.

Accurate forecasting of cloud costs remains a significant challenge for 80% of data management experts (Forrester). The root causes? Lack of granular visibility, siloed data, and the absence of AI-powered predictive tools. Join us for this session in our Weekly Walkthrough drop-in series, "Controlling Cloud Costs," where we'll explore how to manage Databricks costs with AI.

AI promises efficiency, but are we implementing it the right way? @Marcus Merrell shares what’s critical to track AI usage and its impact: “Here’s the prompt I used to get this tool, and here are the changes I made to make it work.” This kind of transparency is non-negotiable. Start small with a group of mixed experience levels to uncover both benefits and risks before scaling. If AI adds overhead without solving core issues, is it truly worth the investment?

AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT promised to revolutionize development workflows, but are they delivering or just creating new headaches? The stats speak volumes: 92% of developers say AI increases the blast radius of bad code 67% are spending more time debugging AI-generated code 59% face deployment errors at least half the time when using AI tools So, are we making strides toward innovation or spinning in circles of hype? @Marcus Merrell put it best: “This stuff was supposed to already start paying off by now. So why isn’t it working?”
