The Semantic Foundation — Why Your Data Agent Needs More Than RAG
Data agents still hallucinate despite RAG and MCP, so a semantic foundation is needed for accurate answers.
“talking to the data is the new normal”
An AWS re:Invent discussion featuring AutoScout24 and AWS practitioners argues that even with RAG frameworks and MCP connectors giving agents broad reach across data sources, agents still hallucinate and return wrong answers. The panel positions a semantic foundation as the missing layer for reliable 'talk to your data' use cases. It's a useful engineering perspective but a niche practitioner discussion rather than a major industry announcement.
