Findability in the Age of AI Starts with a Strong Taxonomy

Artificial intelligence (AI) can search vast collections of information in seconds, interpret natural language and surface connections people might otherwise miss. But even the smartest AI tools can struggle when an organization’s information is inconsistent, poorly described or difficult to access. This interesting topic came from Hedden Information Management in their article, “Generative AI and…

AI Needs Better Data. Better Data Needs Governance.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can draft reports, identify patterns, predict demand and answer questions in seconds. But speed and sophistication cannot compensate for unreliable information.

What it cannot reliably do on its own is determine exactly what your organization means by every word it uses. When “partner” means five different things across three departments, even sophisticated AI has a problem. It may simply deliver that problem…

AI and Unstructured Data: Finding Meaning in the Mess

Organizations have never lacked data. The bigger problem has been figuring out what to do with all of it, especially the information that doesn’t fit neatly into rows and columns. This interesting and important topic came to us from CDO Magazine in their article, “Why AI Changes Unstructured Data: Data X-Ray’s Kyle DuPont on Metadata…

Peer Review in the Age of AI: Is It Time for an Upgrade?

For generations, peer review has been a cornerstone of scholarly publishing. Before research enters the academic record, experts evaluate its methodology, evidence, originality and conclusions. The system is imperfect, but its purpose remains essential: protecting the credibility and integrity of scholarship. The Scholarly Kitchen brought this interesting topic to our attention in their article,”Guest Post…
