In enterprise artificial intelligence, there are three types of AI: traditional, generative, and agentic. Traditional AI is used to classify or predict, generative AI is used to create new data, while agentic AI can take action. Although agentic AI has dominated the news lately, organizations continue to pursue the development of generative AI. Additionally, traditional AI remains an important initiative for organizations seeking to operate more efficiently and explore new revenue streams. These different types of AI share many commonalities, but at the same time, there are significant differences that must be considered when building your AI data infrastructure.

Let’s review the data lakehouse reference architecture and highlight its capabilities for supporting AI/ML workloads.
