AI agents, not humans, will be the primary consumers of data descriptions and metadata. Column descriptions and other documentation should be written for machines to read, not people. This represents a fundamental shift in how we structure and document data.

Because we have designed our world for humans. We have designed data and metadata structures for humans. The biggest shift that is happening is now you have to design it for agents. Your column description should be agent-friendly, AI-friendly, and not human-friendly, because humans are never going to read that anymore. Agents are going to read that for you. So that's why it's a very exciting shift that's happening out there.
