About this session
Most AI integration projects stall on a mainframe export, not a model. Patterns for wrapping systems you cannot change, and how to negotiate data contracts with teams that have no incentive to help you.
Speaker
Ben Oyelaran
Principal Architect, Steelhead
Ben designs integration platforms for companies with more legacy systems than engineers. He believes most AI adoption problems are really data-contract problems wearing a new hat.
