Learn why an organization’s ontology, a structured framework for how a business defines, connects, and makes sense of its data and knowledge, is the most valuable and most overlooked asset in any AI strategy. Jessica Talisman, CEO and Founder of The Ontology Pipeline, and Tony Seale, Founder of The Knowledge Graph Guys, break down what it actually takes to build trusted AI, covering everything from semantic layers and knowledge graphs to why provenance is non-negotiable.

Is your AI-driven "autonomous enterprise" a reality or a peak-of-inflated-expectations dream? Most organizations rush toward the end state of AI agents without doing the foundational work of defining how their data actually relates through a robust ontology. In this episode of The Data & AI Chief, we sit down with Tony Seale, Founder of The Knowledge Graph Guys, and Jessica Talisman, CEO and Founder of The Ontology Pipeline. We break down why the "lost art" of data modeling and the development of semantic layers are the secret weapons for scaling Agentic Analytics.

Don’t let the "AI iceberg" sink your IP Most leaders only focus on the flashy models at the surface, but the real value—and the risk—is what’s underneath. Tony Seale and Jessica Talisman reveal why turning AI back onto your own data infrastructure to build connected ontologies is the key to security. This semantic foundation is the core of Agentic Analytics, ensuring your insights are grounded in your specific business logic rather than generic LLM guesses.
