Bridging the Knowledge Gap

The signs are popping up more frequently: we are preparing to leave the information age behind and enter the age of knowledge. This blog is about how we navigate the transition. I have been decades studying artificial intelligence, natural language processing and other automation techniques that attempt to approximate human intelligence: i.e. the best knowledge processing capability on Earth. I’ll post frequently to UnderstandingContext, and seek your input and feedback as we explore this important emerging science.
