The 90-second data model: Why AI-generated data models aren’t a modeling practice

While general-purpose AI can quickly generate plausible data models, these isolated snapshots lack the governance, connectivity to live databases, and security required for enterprise use. The author advocates for "governed AI data modeling," which integrates AI into a structured system that enforces standards, tracks changes, and prevents semantic drift. Ultimately, the goal is to leverage AI's speed within a professional framework that transforms rapid generation into reliable, shared organizational assets.
