Data Engineering 3.0: AI demands shift from data quality to context quality

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Data Engineering is evolving from focusing solely on data quality to emphasizing context quality, a shift necessitated by the rise of generative and agentic AI. While traditional Data Engineering 2.0 ensured data trustworthiness through frameworks measuring accuracy, completeness, and consistency, AI agents require more than just high-quality data. These agents need to understand relationships, interpret business meaning, consider historical and current states, and identify relevant evidence, aspects that fall under the umbrella of context quality. The challenge lies in assembling comprehensive and relevant context for AI agents, even when the underlying data passes all traditional quality checks. AI

IMPACT The evolution to context quality in data engineering is crucial for enabling AI agents to make more informed and accurate decisions.
