The notion that data is the lifeblood of artificial intelligence (AI) has been a prevailing theme in the industry. However, as AI continues to evolve and mature, it's becoming increasingly clear that knowledge – not data – will be the differentiator between

Recently, while preparing for a talk about trust in AI, I had an epiphany. As I explored various use cases—some successful, others not so much—I realized we've been thinking about AI all wrong. The "artificial" in Artificial Intelligence has always felt

Written by Oliver King-Smith, Founder and CEO of smartR AI As someone who’s been following the AI industry closely, I have to say the new European Union AI Act has really caught my attention. It’s a beast of a document; 458 pages and 113 articles! When I first heard about it, I thought, “Well, there goes my weekend reading.” But jokes aside, this is a big deal, folks.

The ability to retrain models with client data allows organizations to capture their unique tribal knowledge.
