AI Council: After the Lakehouse: Building Data Infra for the AI Era

Yury Izrailevsky (Co-Founder, ClickHouse) joins the keynote panel at AI Council to talk lakehouse architecture and AI.

This panel took place at AI Council conference in San Francisco on June 16, 2026.

[2026 - Day 2 - KEYNOTE] The lakehouse architecture solved a real problem — but AI has rewritten the requirements. Latency, compute separation, vector workloads, real-time inference pipelines: the demands look nothing like they did five years ago. Three engineers who helped build the modern data stack join us to debate what's actually changing under the hood, what's being thrown out, and what the next five years look like for the teams who have to ship on top of it.

PANELISTS:

• Yury Izrailevsky - Co-founder & President, ClickHouse
• Nikita Shamgunov - VP of Engineering, Databricks
• Carl Perry - Head of Analytics, Snowflake
• Jamin Ball - Partner, Altimeter (Moderator)
