Aladdin’s Context Layer: Inside BlackRock’s Blueprint for Agent Ready Data

At BlackRock, governance happens before production: no data asset enters BlackRock's Enterprise Data Platform without being registered in DataHub first. What once served as a foundation for discoverability, provenance, and scalability now provides the context to power an agentic future. Jeff Miller, Managing Director Aladdin, Engineering & Architecture - AI Ready Foundations at BlackRock, sits down with Shirshanka, Co-founder and CTO of DataHub, for a conversation about running one governed context environment that fans out to hundreds of client-specific versions inside Aladdin, and what changes when the primary consumer of your data is no longer a human.
