Discover Dataiku Agent Management: every agent on the record

Dataiku announced the launch of Dataiku Agent Management, a new product feature for managing AI agents, along with the announcement of the AI Success Frontrunner award winners.

12,000 Attend Ai4 2026 to Discuss AI's Invisibility

The article reports on the Ai4 2026 conference in Las Vegas, which saw record attendance of over 12,000, up from 8,000 the previous year. Dataiku's keynote highlighted that 96% of enterprise leaders believe employees are using unsanctioned generative AI tools, and 80% of CIOs see their jobs at risk without measurable AI ROI. Pat Gelsinger argued that AI economics must improve dramatically, while Geoffrey Hinton, Fei-Fei Li, and Andrew Ng jointly endorsed AI regulation. The conference emphasized the need for AI governance, budget ownership, and cross-functional staffing. Speakers from Cisco, Nvidia, Uber, PayPal, and other companies discussed the shift from assistants to autonomous agents and the importance of accountable AI deployment.

• Ai4 2026 attendance exceeded 12,000, up from 8,000 the previous year.
• Dataiku's survey found 96% of enterprise leaders believe employees use unsanctioned generative AI tools.
• 80% of CIOs say their job is at risk without measurable AI ROI.

Governed RAG: Data, Context & Lineage for Enterprise AI

The article describes risks introduced by Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) when enterprise data is exposed to vector search pipelines and proposes a three-part Governed RAG architecture: (1) ingestion with cryptographic embedding lineage and metadata, (2) query-time contextual Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) embedded into vector search queries, and (3) outbound payload sanitization (PII/PHI masking, indirect injection removal, and context length minimization). It argues that enterprises must enforce retrieval-time access controls, maintain graph-based data lineage, and implement real-time index freshness/eviction to prevent privilege escalation, prompt-injection attacks, stale-context hallucinations, and to meet compliance requirements.

• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pairs LLMs with vector databases and knowledge graphs to ground agents in proprietary corporate knowledge.
• Vector stores typically do not preserve fine-grained document-level ACLs or cryptographic data lineage by default, creating over-permissioned retrieval risks.
• The proposed Governed RAG pipeline has three security boundaries: ingestion with cryptographic embedding lineage, query-time contextual ABAC inside the vector search, and outbound payload sanitization.

Snorkel AI raises $350M Series E, triples valuation to $3.5B

Snorkel AI, a startup providing AI training data and simulated environments, has raised a $350 million Series E round at a $3.5 billion valuation, nearly tripling its previous $1.3 billion valuation from 17 months ago. The round was led by Insight Partners and S32, with participation from existing investors Addition, Lightspeed, Greylock, GV, and Wells Fargo. Snorkel has shifted from data-labeling software to offering complete datasets and reinforcement learning environments. The company reports an annualized revenue run rate of $375 million, an eighteenfold increase over the past year, driven by high demand from AI labs. The funding will support scaling its data-as-a-service offering.

• Snorkel AI raised $350 million in a Series E round.
• The Series E was led by Insight Partners and S32.
• Snorkel AI's valuation is now $3.5 billion, up from $1.3 billion.
