From AI-Ready to AI-Activated | Mark Lee on Agentic AI, Data & SolixEmpower 2026

In this episode of TALTarang, Mark Lee, Chief Product Officer at Solix Technologies, Inc., discusses what organizations really need to succeed with enterprise AI.

Mark explains why trustworthy, well-governed data is the foundation for AI and how companies can move beyond simply being AI-ready to becoming AI-activated — where people and AI agents can safely use enterprise data to solve real business problems.

In This Episode:

• What it means to make enterprise data AI-ready
• Moving from AI-ready to AI-activated data
• Why trusted data and governance are essential for AI
• Generative AI vs. Agentic AI
• How AI agents can automate multi-step business processes
• Privacy, security, auditability, and human oversight
• Why governance enables AI adoption rather than slowing it down
• Collaboration between industry, academia, researchers, and students
• AI opportunities in healthcare and life sciences
• What attendees can expect from SolixEmpower 2026 and the AI Hackathon

Mark emphasizes that successful AI is not just about more powerful models. Organizations need trusted data, clear governance, responsible access, and people who understand the business problem.

His key takeaway:
Getting your data in order isn’t something you do before AI — it is a major part of the AI work itself.
