Commercializing Semantic Knowledge Graphs

Introduction

Commercializing Artificial Intelligence platforms, products and tools is much more challenging than traditional software. This is because

1. It represents a revolution in computing

2. Its new to IT staff, conceptually and in practice

3. It requires adoption of a substantially different way of thinking about computing

4. It requires a different way of thinking about business.

Human Intelligence

In the U.S., every year, about 2.6 million people have some type of brain injury, caused by trauma, stroke, tumor, or other illnesses. The greatest factor in functional recovery after brain injury comes from the brain’s ability to learn, called neuroplasticity. After injury, neuroplasticity allows intact areas of the brain to adapt and attempt to compensate for damaged parts of the brain. Developing brains are more able to regenerate than adult brains.

It’s possible that one day we will discover ways in which to restore cognitive function to higher levels than we can today, maybe to regain full function.

Understanding that there are levels of cognition in human brains informs an understanding of the development of artificial cognitive ability.

Today, we are starting to build elementary cognitive functionality in computers, albeit only equivalent to that of a months-old infant. Computers lack imagination…
