AI is undoubtedly shaping the future, yet many practitioners struggle to understand how it can truly impact their use cases.

This virtual panel brings together industry experts from StreamNative, LanceDB, and RisingWave to explore the evolving intersection of AI and real-time data processing. We'll start with practical applications like search and recommendation, then dive into data system architectures, examining how modern AI-driven systems differ from those of the past.

Discussion Topics:

• Are vector databases a standalone necessity, or should they just be a component of a larger system?
• How can AI be effectively leveraged in real-time applications?
• Have you worked with embedding model vendors? How reliable are they? Is Apache Iceberg well-suited for AI workloads?
• Why build your product now instead of a decade ago? What has changed? … and more!

Speakers:

• Rayees Pasha, CPO at RisingWave Labs
• Sijie Guo, Founder and CEO at StreamNative
• Chang She, Co-founder and CEO at LanceDB
