Taxonomy in the Age of AI
How is AI changing the way taxonomies are being built?
In this webinar, taxonomy consultant and author Heather Hedden joins Gary Leicester, Solution Architect at Graphwise, for a conversation about AI’s growing role in taxonomy creation. Heather brings a practitioner’s perspective to the questions the taxonomy community is asking right now: How does AI change the role of taxonomists? Is AI more suitable for some taxonomies than others? Are AI-generated hierarchies compliant with standards, and where does human expertise remain essential?
In the second half, Heather walks through the practical side: the real challenges of taxonomy creation, where AI tools like Taxonomy Advisor and Taxonomy Builder make a difference, and what a human-in-the-loop workflow looks like: for both the seasoned taxonomist and the subject matter expert building a taxonomy for the first time.
You’ll leave with:
- Expert takes on AI’s real strengths and limitations in taxonomy work
- Understanding of when to use AI, and when human judgment is needed
- A practitioner’s look at AI-assisted taxonomy tools
