Build Meaning Before Machines: Why Semantics, Ontologies, And Knowledge Graphs Matter For Agentic AI

Boris Evelson 3 hours ago
Agentic AI is exposing a foundational gap in most enterprise data strategies: Data without meaning is unusable for autonomous systems. Agents don’t just retrieve data — they interpret, decide, and act. Without explicit context, they guess. And when agents guess, they get joins wrong, misinterpret metrics, and act on flawed assumptions. This is why ontologies, […]

If Buyers Change How They Search, Marketing Must Change How It Shows Up

Christina Schmitt 1 day ago
B2B buyers are not searching the way they used to. They rely less on traditional discovery paths and more on AI-driven answers, curated sources, and trusted signals. Evaluation is happening earlier, faster, and often without direct interaction. Marketing has not fully caught up. With 87% of B2B buyers selecting “generative AI conversational search tool” as a meaningful interaction, it ranks […]

Agentic AI In Insurance: Stop Chasing Autonomous Agents, Start Engineering Trust

Indranil Bandyopadhyay 1 day ago
Autonomous agents have become the wrongly envisaged North Star for agentic AI in insurance for many.
