Semantic Data New York 2025

Context:

Language is a tool. From our first grunts, whoops, and mutterings as Homo sapiens, we have used language to communicate - but also to persuade and control. In a world of growing complexity, uncertainty, and fractaled meaning, we still attempt to organize and find meaning through the expression of language.

Perceived meaning is often dependent on the language we use. With language we can misinform, but we can also use it to create order and stability. 

The war of words is the war for meaning, and semantic data specialists are at the forefront of shaping perceived meaning. 

The Semantic Data Keynote:

Ahren Lehnert identifies three trends, makes three predictions, and tables three wild guesses about the present and near future of semantic data. 

Covering:

• How corporations integrate and capitalize on graph databases, machine learning, and generative AI.
• Human-machine interactions and knowledge graphs.
• Whether we have finally reached a tipping point in automatically generating taxonomies.
• The future of information wars.
