You already have Kafka topics sending valuable event data through your systems. What if you could take that same data and use it not just for integration and analytics, but also to drive AI and ML — things like real-time anomaly detection, prediction models, personalization, decision pipelines, and more — without needing to build a new data lake or rebuild your whole infrastructure?​ In this session, you’ll see how to leverage your existing Kafka topics (and the streams of events on them) as the foundation for AI/ML. We’ll show you that it’s easier than you might think — no massive platform changes required. Just a few simple patterns, practical tips, and easy-to-use tools to help you get started.​
