Podcast: Don’t Panic! It’s Just Data Guest: Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress Software Host: Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech Generative AI has been brewing in the enterprise tech industry for at least three years now. AI pilots are launching every other day, internal copilots are deployed across enterprise divisions, and now teams themselves are experimenting with large language models (LLMs) to automate business workflows. Such additions have sped up research and notably improved productivity. While the excitement is valid, the truth beneath is often disregarded. Many enterprise AI systems produce answers that sound convincing, even when they are completely wrong. In the recent episode of the Don’t Panic! It’s Just Data podcast , Michael Marolda, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Agentic RAG at Progress Software , sat down with host Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Producer and B2B Tech Journalist at EM360Tech . Marolda argued that the problem is not necessarily with the AI models themselves. The real issue is with the enterprise data foundations supporting them.
