Their Release says

CILIP and BCS are pleased to be running a webinar next month on large-scale knowledge assets. We are keen to have participants join us from the legal sector, so if this topic is of interest, we would be delighted to have you join us there.

At the webinar, you will get to learn about the latest practices in managing and mobilising very large-scale knowledge assets; Explore the opportunities, challenges and implications of leveraging computable knowledge at scale and have the opportunity to contribute your own perspectives and experiences. Following on from the webinar, we hope that there will be sufficient common ground to follow up with a face-to-face meeting to pursue specific topics in more detail.

Harnessing the power of very large-scale knowledge assets

The volume of knowledge, data and information managed across large-scale enterprises has increased exponentially in recent years. With the onset of quantum computing on top of AI and large language models, we are set to see a new great leap forward in the potential to manage and discover knowledge across all types of organisations.

The sheer pace and scale of knowledge creation is creating a demand for new techniques and approaches to the reliable management, mobilisation and use of knowledge assets.

In health, there is a global movement called Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge. We believe that healthcare quality can be improved by making best practice guidelines more easily available to patients and clinicians by making the knowledge assets computable and compatible with other technologies like electronic patient records.

What can health learn from other sectors? Where can we offer useful experience of what has and has not worked? Can UK government and industry take a global lead in a knowledge ecosystem revolution?
