Long-time content architect Larry Swanson joined us on the Content Matters podcast to help content strategists learn how to navigate the evolving landscape of AI. He talked about how to effectively work with generative AI and showed pathways into another corner of the AI world - the semantic technologies that make AI architectures more transparent and trustworthy. You'll leave the conversation with actionable insights for growing your skill set and understanding the ever-evolving AI ecosystem.
Key topics included:
- Ontological thinking and the semantic spectrum
- Neural network learning-based AI (LLMs and generative AI) vs. symbolic knowledge-based AI (ontologies and knowledge graphs) and how these stacks complement each other
- The core competencies content professionals need today and in the future
- Strategies to leverage the language, people, and design skills you've developed in your current content roles
- The role of a conceptual "semantic layer" in enterprise architectures and content systems
