Keynote: The Missing Control Plane Your AI Needs Before It Scales
As enterprises move AI from experimentation into production, one critical question emerges: How do organizations maintain visibility, governance, and operational control as AI systems become more complex and autonomous? In this keynote, "Keynote: The Missing Control Plane Your AI Needs Before It Scales," from COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026, Anu Jain, CEO & Founder @ NexusOne, addresses an increasingly important challenge in enterprise AI: establishing the control and coordination capabilities needed to manage AI systems at scale. Deploying AI models and applications is only part of the equation. Enterprise environments often involve multiple models, agents, data sources, workflows, and infrastructure platforms operating across different teams. Without a unified approach to oversight, organizations can face challenges related to observability, policy enforcement, system reliability, and operational accountability. The concept of an AI control plane raises important architectural questions about how enterprises can coordinate AI workloads, establish consistent governance, and maintain visibility across distributed AI environments. For technology executives and AI practitioners, these considerations become especially relevant as organizations expand generative AI and agentic AI initiatives beyond isolated use cases. 🎯 Key Topics to Explore: AI Control Plane Architecture: Why centralized coordination and visibility may be important for managing complex enterprise AI environments. Scaling Enterprise AI: The operational challenges organizations must consider when moving from AI pilots to production systems. AI Governance and Oversight: How policy enforcement, accountability, and consistent controls can support responsible AI adoption. Observability and Reliability: The importance of monitoring AI applications, agents, and workflows across enterprise infrastructure. Agentic AI Operations: Key considerations for managing increasingly autonomous AI systems while maintaining enterprise-level control. 🎤 Featured Keynote Speaker Anu Jain CEO & Founder | NexusOne About COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026 Organized by Data Science Connect, COLLIDE Data + AI Conference 2026 took place on October 1, 2026, at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
