Data Vis & Graphs in the Age of AI with Dr. Janet Six

In this interview live from the Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) in Boston, Amy Hodler (GraphGeeks) sits down with Dr. Janet Six, Senior Product Manager at Tom Sawyer Software, to discuss the evolving role of data visualization and graph technology in the age of AI.

Dr. Six highlights why data visualization shouldn't just be an afterthought—like sticking a basic pie chart into a slideshow—and advocates for a systems engineering approach to craft interactive, meaningful visual tools. They explore how visualization is essential for monitoring and managing complex AI agent workflows, as well as providing the deep context that simple LLM text responses often miss.
