Generative #AI has prompted a flurry of experimentation, resulting in a parade of failed pilots, unproven PoCs, and unrealized return on investment.

Lulit Tesfaye improves companies' AI capabilities by adding #semantics to their enterprise architectures. This puts their precious knowledge assets in a #context that machines can actually work with. A crucial part of that context is the interoperability that standards like #RDF enable.

Weekend riddle:

I’m went to the pharmacy to get a vaccine. But what I got was a logic riddle! 😵‍💫

(And/or a #semantics vs #pragmatics riddle)

How should I answer question 7?

Does answering “Yes” mean all previous questions are N/A?
If so, what does answering “N/A” mean?

Otherwise, should I tick the “N/A” column as if I ticked it in all previous questions?

How is it different from answering question 7 with “No”? 🤦‍♂️

For nearly three decades, Giancarlo Guizzardi has researched and advanced the field of #semantics and the practice of #ontology and #conceptualModeling.

His work on the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), the OntoUML pattern language, and AI explainability are just a few of the accomplishments that make him an exemplar of the "full-stack ontologist."

A fun conversation with an incredibly accomplished researcher. Hope you enjoy it, too.

I've shared the opening chapters of A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis on PhilPapers.

📕👉 https://philpapers.org/rec/WILALI-3

I examine the structural limits of human language as a medium for conveying meaning. This counters the widespread assumption that clearer definitions.
