Topic: Using Ontologies to Power AI Systems


There’s a great deal of confusion about the role of a knowledge architecture in artificial intelligence projects. Some people don’t believe that any reference data is necessary. But in reality reference data is required- even if there is no metadata or architecture definitions outside defined externally for an AI algorithm, someone has made the decisions about architecture and classification within the program. However, this will not work for every organization because there are terms, workflows, product attributes, and organizing principles that are unique to the organization and that need to be defined for AI tools to work most effectively.
