Doug Henschen of Information Week recently shared his thoughts on the less-than-nefarious intent of the NSA’s PRISM Big Data tools. He writes, “It’s understandable that democracy-loving citizens everywhere are outraged by the idea that the U.S. Government has back-door access to digital details surrounding email messages, phone conversations, video chats, social networks and more on the servers of mainstream service providers including Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, YouTube, Skype and Apple. But the more you know about the technologies being used by the National Security Agency (NSA), the agency behind the controversial Prism program revealed last week by whistleblower Edward Snowden, the less likely you are to view the project as a ham-fisted effort that’s ‘trading a cherished American value for an unproven theory,’ as one opinion piece contrasted personal privacy with big data analysis.” Read more

“The thesis for today: C-Level executives are responsible for achieving the mission,” for assuring that their companies are prepped for the industrial Internet, the era of intelligent machines and heightened consumer and business user expectations of what concepts systems should be able to understand. “If they don’t have a learning or feedback dimension, they’re not in the game.  As we accelerate through the Internet of Things, there is mounting pressure to be able to be agile, adapt, get free from legacy, and move forward. Semantic technologies offer a huge opportunity here.”

On the panel (left to right): Latham, Aucutt, Dunn and Davis

That’s how Project 10x managing director Mills Davis opened the panel discussion, C-Level Semantics: What Executives Want session, at the recent Semantic Technology & Business conference. “New tools, new capabilities to deal with this era of rapid change, as well as to cope with business uncertainties,” he continued, will be welcome.

How to help C-level execs take notice of the opportunity that awaits and the capabilities that are there, or that ideally soon will be? It helps first to understand their everyday concerns. To that end, the panel included two executives that brought to the discussion not just their perspectives as CEO, but also as CEOs of companies whose solutions are dependent on semantic technology. “Doing more with less is more important,” said Phil Aucutt, who is CEO of Edyt.com, which leverages semantic technology for its patent platform service for IP professionals, government and enterprises. “We’re all looking for that little thing that can help us get that much further ahead, and I think semantics is that little thing.”
