 s most powerful executives, policymakers, and heads of state gathered in th
 e Swiss Alps for the World Economic Forum in January 2026, the message was 
 unmistakable: the era of AI hype is over. What replaced it was something da
 ta and governance professionals rarely get credit for — a reckoning w
 ith reality.\nAI governance was on the agenda at Davos. Leaders debated &qu
 ot;runtime governance" for agentic AI systems, wrestled with the gap b
 etween capability and accountability, and heard Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 
 deliver a blunt verdict when asked whether business and government are doin
 g enough to prepare: an unequivocal "no." IMF Managing Director K
 ristalina Georgieva warned that governance lagging behind innovation carrie
 s a real economic cost. UAE Minister of State Maryam bint Ahmed Al Hammadi 
 articulated what many in the room felt: AI can advise, but a human must rem
 ain in command.\nThese leaders get it. The urgency is real. What's miss
 ing is the bridge between their strategic instincts and the practical work 
 of data quality, lineage, and governance that makes responsible AI possible

 stion now is: how do we speak their language, make our work visible, and ta
 ke our seat at the table where these decisions are being made?\n
