AI Trailblazer: Access Innovations, Inc. - Improving the ability to find and discover information

We have been implementing AI since 1997. We use its collection of techniques, applications, algorithms and models to make processing informational text faster, easier, more accurate, and less of a burden on humans.

AI Trailblazer: Bloomfire - Transforming Knowledge Management into Enterprise Intelligence

At the core of Bloomfire's platform are five capabilities of Enterprise Intelligence: connecting siloed information across systems, resolving content duplication and gaps through a self-healing knowledge base, unlocking tacit expertise from employees, injecting insights directly into workflows, and proactively surfacing what teams need before they ask. Together, these capabilities turn knowledge from a passive archive into an active, strategic asset.

AI Trailblazer: Earley Information Science creating adaptable, AI-ready solutions that evolve alongside organizational needs

Successful AI initiatives begin with well-managed information. Whether designing taxonomies and ontologies, optimizing product information management, or enhancing enterprise search and personalization, we build intelligent frameworks that enable advanced analytics, machine learning, and generative AI applications.

Navigating the IT Landscape: Balancing Hybrid Cloud and Cloud Repatriation to Stay in Control of Your Infrastructure

To secure their data, certain industries have strict regulations regarding data storage, requiring data to be kept in specific geographic locations or under stringent security measures. This is yet another reason for organizations nowadays to switch back to on-prem resources.

Experts predict AI will continue impacting KM in 2025

AI continues to disrupt the knowledge management space and experts in the field predict that it's a trend that still hasn't reached its full potential, yet. In 2025 there's more room for improvement.

Democratizing software development with no code/low code

By enabling greater productivity and accelerated software development timelines, no code/low code is on the rise.

KMWorld 2023 sees a sea change

Most of the papers presented at the 2023 conference did not report on what had changed. Instead, they assumed and predicted that there would be substantial change.

What Problem Is AI Actually Trying to Solve?

Too often, AI is deployed reactively—thrown at symptoms rather than root causes—leading to wasted resources, disillusionment, and even deeper inefficiencies.

The Long- and Short-Term Impacts of AI Technologies

A much less-known but arguably more critical tech law is Amara's Law, which states that we tend to overestimate the short-term impact of new technology while underestimating its long-term effects.

On Chat AI and BS

So, I'm sticking with hallucinations for all of chat AI's statements, true or false. But that leaves us with a question: Why isn't there a word that perfectly expresses this situation? The answer is easy: LLMs are doing something genuinely new in our history. Our lack of a perfectly apt verb proves it.

Inefficient at the speed of light

While process mining started years ago as a mainly data-driven exercise, its stated goal is to be knowledge-driven. Given KM's multidisciplinary scope, we can play a major role in achieving that goal. Any process, no matter how simple, has the potential to reach across an entire business ecosystem, including all stakeholders. This seems like a perfect match for collaborative workflow, AI/ML, knowledge graphs, human sensemaking, and many of the other arrows in our KM quiver.
