Putting the ‘human’ in ‘human-in-the-loop’ at KM & AI Summit 2025

Kim Glover, Director, Communications Change Management, TechnipFMC, will lead two sessions at this year's KM & AI Summit—'Cooking With KM: Knowledge Sharing & Building Skills,'"and "Storytelling for Collaboration & Change"—exploring how "human-in-the-loop" concepts reflect and affirm the broader purpose of AI, technology, and KM itself.

Enhancing Organizational Experiences: The Power of Knowledge Management Systems and LLMs - KMS Lighthouse

Looking forward to 2025 and beyond, the synergy between KMS and LLMs will drive significant advancements in organizational experiences. By leveraging the strengths of both technologies, organizations can expect enhanced efficiency, better decision-making, and more innovative solutions to complex problems.

Semantic Search: A Deeper Meaning

Search has proved to be a conundrum for many organizations, but the advent of new techniques and better integration into KM platforms will prove to be a driver for greater adoption.

KMWorld 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management 2025

The importance of innovation and creativity in KM cannot be overstated. In many respects, AI and other emerging technologies have cemented the importance of KM within organizations, making KM a "must have" rather than a "nice-to-have" vehicle for knowledge sharing and organizational success. Companies on this list are wonderful examples of how they help organizations unlock the power of knowledge. They stand out in the KM field, and we applaud their accomplishments.

Navigating the IT Landscape: Balancing Hybrid Cloud and Cloud Repatriation to Stay in Control of Your Infrastructure

To secure their data, certain industries have strict regulations regarding data storage, requiring data to be kept in specific geographic locations or under stringent security measures. This is yet another reason for organizations nowadays to switch back to on-prem resources.

Experts predict AI will continue impacting KM in 2025

AI continues to disrupt the knowledge management space and experts in the field predict that it's a trend that still hasn't reached its full potential, yet. In 2025 there's more room for improvement.

The transformative role of AI in the next generation of records management

While there are many ways AI will disrupt and advance the records management process, these four key applications will make the biggest impact: automating document classification and tagging, records retention and data hygiene, leveraging natural language processing for record analysis and predictive analytics for records management.

Navigating the risks and challenges of AI (quickly): Create an AI governance program

A strong AI governance program is essential to ensuring compliance and reducing risk. An equally important benefit is that by developing the governance program at the same time the AI application is being developed, issues can be identified early, thus avoiding system redesign or rework on the tail end.

The Long- and Short-Term Impacts of AI Technologies

A much less-known but arguably more critical tech law is Amara's Law, which states that we tend to overestimate the short-term impact of new technology while underestimating its long-term effects.

On Chat AI and BS

So, I'm sticking with hallucinations for all of chat AI's statements, true or false. But that leaves us with a question: Why isn't there a word that perfectly expresses this situation? The answer is easy: LLMs are doing something genuinely new in our history. Our lack of a perfectly apt verb proves it.

Inefficient at the speed of light

While process mining started years ago as a mainly data-driven exercise, its stated goal is to be knowledge-driven. Given KM's multidisciplinary scope, we can play a major role in achieving that goal. Any process, no matter how simple, has the potential to reach across an entire business ecosystem, including all stakeholders. This seems like a perfect match for collaborative workflow, AI/ML, knowledge graphs, human sensemaking, and many of the other arrows in our KM quiver.

The trust problem with GenAI

2023 has been the year of ultra-hyping GenAI, and who is paying for this deluge of marketing? Technology vendors that want us to buy it. Again, it's impressive stuff, but when we shift from selling to buying and ultimately using it, many tough questions need to be asked.
