Graphs, but not as you would expect them: Graph analytics guru Amy Hodler speaks to Jon Krohn about the graph data structure and graph applications, graph algorithms, graph RAG, and graphs as memory systems for AI agents. We can use graphs in a surprising number of ways. Money laundering and fraud, as well as supply-chain crime, leave breadcrumbs at multiple “touch-points” over time, behaviors that graphs are better suited to reveal than rows and tables. Amy sees that most interest in graphs has been in the cybersecurity space. But this work isn’t only restricted to fighting crime! Listen to the episode to hear more case examples and how to get into graph work.
