Why Semantics & Data Linking is Vital to Artificial Intelligence Virtual-Strategy Magazine

Artificial intelligence and cognitive computing seem to be in the news almost everyday – everything from how AI is now considered a legal driver of a car to Could you fall in love with an AI-enabled robot? Many of these concepts seem far-fetched and some have created concern that making computers too smart could turn computers into criminals and may backfire on the human race someday. But there have also been great strides to use AI to make precision medicine a reality and predict the outcome of trials by weighing legal evidence and moral questions of right and wrong. The reality is that today many business users, executives and even consumers are already reaping the benefits of natural language processing, machine learning, image recognition and other facets of artificial intelligence, but are blissfully unaware that these phenomena are empowered by semantics and its simple, progressive approach to maximizing data utility. So how does an AI-enabled robot or autonomous car differ from a typical software application?
