About The Opinionated Ontologist

I'm Jamie McCusker, the host of The Opinionated Ontologist, a weekly podcast where I discuss Graph AI in all its forms (neurosymbolic AI, knowledge graphs, semantics, knowledge representation, and, of course, generative AI). I interview thought leaders in academia, industry, and culture who are researching, creating, and using graph AI to solve real problems. We discuss current trends and historical context, as well as provide introductions to concepts in Graph AI as needed. Since I am the Opinionated Ontologist, I also will add my own thoughts on topics in separate Op Ed episodes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
