Data mesh and data fabric caught the attention of data leaders in the early 2020s as a compelling way to retain and deliver information across highly disparate enterprises. Then AI came into the picture in a big way, overshadowing the time and attention devoted to mesh and fabric. Lately, because data-hungry AI systems demand a seamless flow of information, there has been a resurgence of interest in the flexibility that mesh and fabric provide. To meet this need, mesh and fabric are being layered together, rather than being categorized as differing approaches to data decentralization.

Autonomous, everyday workflows; streamlined inter-team collaboration; and time given back to humans for business-focused initiatives are just a few agentic AI benefits becoming clearer each day. Unfortunately, these advantages have tempted some to give agentic AI more "agency" than it deserves, leading to the ultimate replacement of human employees.

The influence of generative AI (GenAI) and decision intelligence continues to drive data-driven processes. While data quality and security remain essential, everyday components, organizations should also embrace AI/ machine language-driven automation and self-service analytics, while paying equal attention to the human element, thereby fostering a strong data culture, robust governance, and enhanced data literacy. With more data being created than ever before, making the right choices among the countless options for data management and analytics solutions is a top priority for many organizations. To help companies progress along their data-driven journeys, each year, DBTA presents the Readers' Choice Awards, offering the opportunity to recognize companies whose products have been selected by the experts—our readers!

Are data infrastructures ready to deliver insights at the speed of thought—or, for that matter, at the speed of an AI prompt? For decades, batch processing was the mode of data delivery—and organizations built their analytical environments in which information was several hours, or maybe a day, old. Then, as the digital economy evolved, certain parts of the data infrastructure moved to near real time, meaning results to queries were delivered within a half-hour to several hours.

Since the sudden explosion of generative AI with OpenAI's debut of Chat-GPT in 2022, AI itself has quickly evolved to act as different things to different organizations and people—sometimes lacking alignment. Adoption of AI in some form is now widespread, with McKinsey research suggesting that 88% of organizations are deploying AI in at least parts of their organizations. However, just as many report no significant bottom-line impact. To help readers gain a greater understanding about this complex area of information technology, the solutions available, and their role in handling real-world challenges, DBTA and Big Data Quarterly present the list of Awesome Companies in AI.

We hear a lot about AI's benefits to productivity for data teams, but less about the potential risks. The moment the problem becomes real usually looks something like this: an engineer connects an AI assistant to a NoSQL database, such as MongoDB, through an MCP server or a similar tool-calling interface. At the time, they consider it safe to grant the AI direct authentication with their own credentials instead of using best practices such as delegated authorization. It takes twenty minutes. The agent can now query live data, return results, and feed them into whatever workflow it's part of. Nobody updates the access policy, scopes the authorization down, or asks what the agent can actually reach.
