STACK Meetup [Data]: Data Standards that Scale - AI-enabled Data Engineering

ANNOUNCEMENT – Registration via this [link](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-27aug2026-mc) only. GovTech (Punggol Digital District), Tower 82, Level 8 @ Community 1 & 2, 82 Punggol Way, Singapore 829910 Join us at STACK Community's Telegram group ([https://www.go.gov.sg/stacktelegram](https://www.go.gov.sg/stacktelegram)) to stay updated! What if building a data pipeline took hours instead of weeks? Reimagine Data Engineering with AI and witness how human-AI collaboration, semantic models, and AI agents are transforming the way we modernise data and extract value from data platforms. Discover GovTech’s AIDE (AI for Data Engineering) and see how the data engineering workflow has evolved with AI. Data users are empowered to co-create pipelines, small teams scale output without adding headcount, while data engineers are freed for more high-impact work. Next, explore how semantic modelling and data ontology give AI the context it needs to deliver deeper, more meaningful insights. Microsoft Fabric IQ innovations will also be unveiled, so check out how data can be turned into intelligent and actionable outcomes. Finally, hear about the real-life use case of how Infinite Lambda moved Mandai Wildlife Group’s legacy, on-prem data warehouse to an advanced cloud platform that leverages on AI, within a year! 3 talks, 1 big theme: How AI helps data teams move faster and work smarter.
