Events Semantic Data Europe 2026 The Memory Wars – We Can All Win

The first two years of AI hype centred around capabilities. Which AI reasoned best and hallucinated least? As the standard improved and solutions moved on from pilots and experiments to maturity, we’ve realised hallucination isn’t going away any time soon and the magic wands promised by vendors aren’t, you know, magic.

The focus is now on different ways to manage the enterprise’s collective memory. Specifically, how do blended teams of humans and AI Agents get the context and data they need in a way that is reliable and scalable? And where do they store their working memory while doing their jobs? Non-technical business users need to understand the options, as they will determine solution flexibility and whether your organisation has future-proof autonomy or stagnates and suffers severe vendor lock-in. Graphs, traditional databases, vector stores, and structured documents are all part of the solution stack and this session explores why they are becoming the new pivotal discussion points in AI implementation.
