Responsible AI Summit Main Conference Day 2 - Wednesday 24 September
11:00 AM Presentation – Engineering “Talk to Data”: Building Semantic Foundations for Responsible AI at National Scale
As AI adoption grows, so does the need for machines—and humans—to understand data in context. In the Scottish Government, Masood and the Digital Directorate’s technical team are architecting the data foundations that make responsible, explainable AI possible. This session explores the hands-on work behind enabling AI systems to interact with public sector data through intelligent tagging, synonym resolution, and semantic modelling. Learn how knowledge graphs, metadata enrichment, and NLP interfaces are unlocking scalable, governed access to complex datasets—without compromising on accountability.
· Architecting semantic layers using knowledge graphs to power explainability and data lineage
· Automating tagging, classification, and synonym resolution across siloed, federated data sources
· Enabling NLP-driven “talk to data” interfaces to widen access without exposing risk
Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Masood.
