The Power of Openness: How an Open Data Ecosystem Accelerates AI Innovation

In this video, Dr. Chris Hillman, global AI lead at Teradata, explains that open data and technology ecosystems are essential for enterprise AI because the field changes too quickly for closed, single-vendor approaches.

Hillman highlights Teradata’s interoperability with AWS, Python in SQL, minimal data movement, open table formats, feature stores, and Bring Your Own Model deployment via formats such as ONNX and PMML. Hillman uses case studies to show how this approach supports large-scale AI workloads, improves compliance and customer insight, and lets small teams manage always-on systems.
