2025 The KMWorld AI 100: The Companies Empowering Intelligent Knowledge Management

As AI adapts and learns, its value to KM becomes more apparent. AI offers remarkable capabilities to avoid data silos, improve search relevance, handle multimodal information sources, and uncover knowledge hidden in large, complex data stores.

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.

Let’s Get Real About the Impact of AI on Jobs

Agentic AI—So hot right now!

We are in the earliest stages of Agentic AI, and, much like the early days of RPA and GenAI, there's a lot of excitement but also a lot of uncertainty. While the potential benefits are enormous— streamlined operations, lower costs, fewer human errors—there are equally important concerns about job displacement, bias in AI decision making, and a lack of transparency in how these systems operate.
