  • Snowflake’s AI framework includes trust in data, model, and system, emphasizing verified queries and semantic models for consistent, reliable results.
  • Successful AI deployment requires ongoing monitoring, versioning, and clear use case boundaries to maintain credibility and prevent data drift.
