Why AI needs more than data: Knowledge management for better infrastructure decisions
from Transform – Tomorrow’s thinking, today Hosted by GHD
In this episode of Transform, Asem Zabin (Executive Advisor – Data & Insights, GHD) is joined by Jessica Talisman (Knowledge Graph and Ontology Specialist) to discuss the challenge of turning infrastructure data into trusted, actionable intelligence. As organisations invest in AI, many expect larger volumes of data to deliver better outcomes. We discuss why that expectation often falls short and examine how the quality, context and relationships within information shape the performance of AI systems. Drawing on Jessica's experience in ontologies, knowledge management and knowledge graphs, we explore practical ways organisations can strengthen the information foundations that support AI. The conversation covers information discoverability, governance, digital twins and the value of a shared vocabulary across complex organisations. We also discuss why building organisational capability remains critical alongside technology investment. The discussion examines how infrastructure owners can build confidence in the information that supports operational decisions. It offers a practical perspective on creating connected knowledge, improving insight and gaining greater value from existing data assets.
