SUMMARY:Agentic AI doesnt have an Intelligence problem\, it has a Governance problem !!
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION ADDRESS (Hybrid\, in person or by zoom\, you choose)\nValley Research Park\n319 North Bernardo Avenue\nMountain View\, CA CA 93043\nDon’t use the front door. When facing the front door\, turn right along the front of the building. Turn left around the building corner. The 2nd door should be open and have a banner and event registration. \nIf you want to join remotely\, you can submit questions via Zoom Q&A.

Yet the greatest barrier to successful adoption may not be intelligence at all. It is governance. Unlike traditional AI systems that primarily generate recommendations\, agentic systems execute actions across interconnected business processes\, data platforms\, and operational workflows. In such environments\, failures rarely originate from model limitations alone. They emerge from hidden dependencies\, inconsistent data\, unclear ownership\, inadequate observability\, and the absence of effective operational controls. \n**Speaker bio:**\nSayantan Ghosh is a Senior Engineering Manager at LinkedIn\, where he runs the feed data platform serving billion+ members on LinkedIn Feed. He has previously built data and AI platforms at Meta\, Uber\, and eBay. He is an IEEE Senior Member\, holds a granted U.S. patent (US 9\,870\,355 B2)\, and is an invited speaker at various international venues like Big Data Europe\, Big Data Canada\, DataCon LA. He is a manuscript reviewer in leading Q1 journals IEEE TNNLS\, ACM TKDD\, IEEE TCDS\, Elsevier Neural Networks\, etc. Sayantan has mentored and grown several tech professionals across his decade long career at the most cutting edge companies in Silicon valley.\nLinkedIn: [https://www.linkedin.com/in/sayantanghosh/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sayantanghosh/) \n— \nValley Research Park is a coworking research campus of 104\,000 square feet hosting 60+ life science and technology companies. VRP has over 100 dry labs\, wet labs\, and high power labs sized from 125-15\,000 square feet. VRP manages all of the traditional office elements: break rooms\, conference rooms\, outdoor dining spaces\, and recreational spaces. \nAs a plug-and-play lab space\, once companies have secured their next milestone and are ready to expand\, VRP has 100+ labs ready to expand into.\nhttps://www.valleyresearchpark.com/

This session presents four enforceable gates organized by the defects they catch: transformation correctness\, cross-system integration\, contract compliance\, and production observability. It explains which gates should block merges\, which should block deployments\, and how production incidents should become lower-layer regression tests. Examples use Spark\, Kafka\, CDC\, and lakehouse failure modes. \nSpeaker Bio:\nKunal Jain\, Software Engineer 3 at Adobe. I build and operate large-scale data platforms and hold a Master of Software Engineering in Scalable Systems from Carnegie Mellon University. I previously spoke at STAREAST 2026.\nLinks: [https://kunal-jain.com](https://kunal-jain.com/) | [https://linkedin.com/in/kunalpjain](https://linkedin.com/in/kunalpjain) \n— \nValley Research Park is a coworking research campus of 104\,000 square feet hosting 60+ life science and technology companies.
