Agentic systems are increasingly operating in agent-to-human and agent-to-agent scenarios, driving decisions and automating operations across the enterprise.
As these intelligent systems accelerate, Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, an AI infrastructure company, has a clear view of where the data infrastructure market is heading. EDB Postgres AI brings together a sovereign and open foundation, a unified platform for transactional, analytical, and AI workloads, as well as a low-code AI factory that lets teams build and deploy in days instead of months.
According to Dallas, there’s a global shift occurring that involves AI, data, and agentic systems. In this environment, data is the competitive moat, and the proximity, security, and governance of that data determine how effective these systems can be. Those getting it right are getting five times the ROI and doing twice the amount of agentic implementations compared to the rest. But they’re still the minority as only a small percentage has achieved this level of maturity, leaving a vast majority still pursuing an AI and data gravity model that ensures that secured and controlled data is available where, when, and how they need it. That’s what true AI and data sovereignty look like.
