Google Cloud Next 2025 featured a series of announcements focused on enhancing data analytics capabilities within Google Cloud, particularly through advancements to BigQuery. These enhancements center around a vision for AI-native data analytics, aiming to make data work more conversational, contextual, and intelligent. Key innovations include the introduction of unified governance in BigQuery, AI-powered agents for data engineering and data science tasks, and the integration of Gemini, Google's flagship foundation model, to drive these intelligent capabilities. These developments are designed to simplify data management, improve data quality, and accelerate the generation of AI-driven insights for businesses.
The new intelligent unified governance in BigQuery is designed to help organizations discover, understand, and leverage their data assets more effectively. This includes a universal, AI-powered data catalog that natively integrates Dataplex, BigQuery sharing, security, and metastore capabilities. The unified governance brings together business, technical, and runtime metadata, providing end-to-end data-to-AI lineage, data profiling, insights, and secure sharing. A universal semantic search allows users to find the right data by asking questions in natural language. These advancements promise to transform governance from a burden into a powerful tool for data activation, simplifying data and AI management.
A significant aspect of these enhancements is the introduction of specialized AI agents within BigQuery and Looker. These agents are tailored to different user roles, such as data engineers and business analysts, assisting with tasks like building data pipelines, model development, and querying data in plain English. Powered by Gemini, these agents provide suggestions based on information collected through the new BigQuery Knowledge Engine, which understands schema relationships, business terms, and query history. These agents are designed to make more data available to more people without them doing more work, ultimately transforming how data professionals interact with data.
