The Importance of Enterprise Semantics in Data and AI

Juha Korpela explains why semantics is the missing foundation of modern data and AI. By focusing on shared meaning (clear business concepts, definitions, and relationships) organisations can move beyond fragmented analytics and brittle AI solutions.
