Enterprise Wide Search 31: Ashleigh Faith - Making AI Understand What It Says
Enterprise Wide SearchShow Notes
In this episode, co-hosts Emma McGrattan and Ole Olesen-Bagneux sit down with Ashleigh Faith, Director of AI and Semantic Innovation at EBSCO and creator of the IsA DataThing YouTube channel, to explore why knowledge graphs and ontologies are becoming essential in the age of AI.
From her early days as a taxonomist to her role as a leading voice in semantic technologies, Ashleigh explains why structuring meaning—not just data—is what makes AI outputs trustworthy and usable.
Together, they discuss: Why knowledge graphs are critical to making AI outputs more reliable and verifiable
The most common mistakes teams make when building ontologies, and how to avoid them
Why starting with use cases (not tools) is key to successful semantic models
How AI can assist, but not replace, human understanding in ontology design
The future of graph architectures, from large centralized graphs to domain-specific, contextual models
🎧 Tune in for a conversation on semantics, knowledge graphs, and why making AI smarter starts with making data more meaningful.
