I was very excited (as folks could tell) and honored about having given the keynote at @iswc_conf this year in Nara, Japan. Thanks everyone for their very kind reception of the talk! Thanks for inviting me!

I was talking about Wikipedia and the Semantic Web - 20 years of co-development and the future, sketching out how the two have and keep influencing each other.

The presentation will be online on Video Lectures in the next few weeks.

We had a blast at โ€“ plenty of great insights and amazing people. We also brought a contribution of our own!

๐Ÿ“ Our CTO Piotr Sowiล„ski presented a poster on Jelly-Patch โ€“ a super-fast format for recording changes in RDF datasets. It's one of the crucial pieces for our upcoming streaming neurosymbolic AI platform. Poster and paper linked in a comment below.

In her keynote at #ISWC2025, Yuko Harayama, Secretary General of Global Partnership on AI Tokyo Expert Support Center, is discussing the challenges of #AI on Human Society, suggesting a shift from originally tech-driven to human-centered paradigm, addressing key questions related to #ethics, #law, #economy, #society, #education, and R&D

Yuko Harayama standing at the speakers desk in fron of her projected slides. 
First slide:
What does AI mean to you?
- a tool for your work
- subject of research
- a companion to chat with
Any concerns?
-> AI may be impacting YOU
How you interact with your surroundings
How you structure your "self" -> a challenge for human societyYuko Harayama standing at the speakers desk in front of her projected slides. 
2nd slide:
Key Questions to be addressed:
- Ethics: Can we accept being insiduously manipulated by AI into change our mind, preference, and conviction?
- Law: How can we develop law that protect users and yet accellerate R&D and utilization of AI?
- Economy: How can we maximize the benefit from AI while minimizing the income gap between people who can. take advantage of AI and those who can't?
- Society: How can we avoid exxessive dependence on and exaggerated fear of AI?
- Education: Which competencies do we need to cope with AI?
- R&D: What shoulรถd researchers do to make AI transparent, secure, controllable and ethical?
