This episode of the Agents of Data podcast double-clicks into semantic layers, exploring their definition, function and the challenges associated with their implementation. 

Frank Weigel, Chief Product Officer at Matillion, joins the discussion to address issues like stale data, ownership battles and the evolving roles of humans in the context of semantic layers and agentic AI. 

The conversation explores how organizations currently store semantic information, the advantages of LLMs in handling inconsistent data, and the potential for a shift in responsibility towards maintaining semantic layers. 

The guests also discuss the future of semantic layers, considering whether they will be centralized or fragmented, and the importance of visibility and explainability within these systems.
