{SOLD OUT} Governed & scalable AI-assisted analytics with dbt

*This training is currently full. You may still request this training as an add-on to your registration by joining the waitlist, but a seat is not guaranteed. We will notify you during the first week of September if a seat becomes available.

AI can accelerate analytics work—but only if it’s governed and reviewable. In this course, you’ll learn practical patterns for enabling AI-assisted workflows in and around dbt without creating new risk. We’ll cover what guardrails to set, how to structure review, and how to keep your analytics codebase and definitions trustworthy as AI usage scales.

After this course, you will be able to:

• Describe where AI helps most in analytics engineering (and where it can introduce risk)
• Apply a review framework for AI-assisted changes (correctness, performance, maintainability, documentation)
• Identify governance decisions needed before scaling AI usage (who can access what context, what outputs are acceptable, how changes get approved)
• Establish team norms that prevent “AI drift” in definitions, naming, and documentation

Prerequisites:

• dbt Fundamentals
• Comfort reviewing SQL changes (even if you’re not writing complex SQL from scratch)

What to bring:

• You must bring your own laptop to complete the hands-on exercises
• We will provide any required sandbox environments for dbt and the data platform

Duration: 2 hours

• A valid dbt Summit pass is required to register for trainings and certifications
• Trainings and certifications will take place in-person at dbt Summit only
