Big Data and AI: A Partnership with Power and Pressure

Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are often discussed together because each strengthens the other in ways that drive real value. Big data provides the volume, variety and velocity of information that AI systems need to learn, adapt and improve. AI, in turn, turns that raw data into something useful by identifying patterns, making predictions…

Retrieval Augmented Generation and the Role of Taxonomies in AI

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), is becoming an important approach in the development of reliable artificial intelligence (AI) systems. While large language models are powerful tools for generating natural language responses, they are often limited by the information contained in their training data. RAG improves this process by connecting language models with external knowledge sources so…

Why Meaning Must Come Before Machines

Artificial intelligence (AI) is often described as understanding language, content or knowledge, but this description can be misleading. AI does not interpret meaning in the way humans do. It does not comprehend intent, nuance or context as lived experience. Instead, AI operates by identifying patterns and relationships within structured data. What it recognizes is not…

Why Controlled Vocabularies and Taxonomies Matter for Automated Indexing

As organizations increasingly rely on machine assisted and fully automated indexing, the structure behind their information becomes just as important as the content itself. Automated systems are fast and scalable, but they are only as effective as the language frameworks guiding them. Without a controlled vocabulary or a full taxonomy in place, indexing efforts risk…

When Search Meets AI: Turning Content into an Asset, Not a Risk

Search and artificial intelligence (AI) are no longer separate conversations. They are deeply intertwined, shaping how organizations surface knowledge, support decisions and interact with the people they serve. As AI-powered search becomes more common, the quality of the underlying content matters more than ever. When content is properly structured, enriched and governed, AI can amplify…
