Navigating AI: Real Tales from Content Frontiers (A Case Study)
At the beginning of 2023, Lief Erickson, and Joe Gregory-DeBernardi, and I embarked on a mission to integrate AI into our information architecture and content strategy work. Distracted by the shiny newness of ChatGPT and the like, we jumped into the fray without thinking much about what it all meant. A year and a half later, we’ve revised our process and narrowed our approach. Our goal is to understand how knowledge graphs can support LLMs, and then to leverage that knowledge into content solutions. In this session, we’ll share our findings and discuss our first case study.
Are you tired of stories about curated, perfect AI projects? Come hear the real story (flaws included) from content professionals who are deep in it.

"Amber helped our Kaplan Professional Education team in our first unified content strategy using DITA. DITA has allowed us to use a single-source of content for a variety of outputs, saving us countless hours of work. With Amber’s guidance, we successfully deployed an information architecture and developed complex XSLT transformations. Additionally, Amber helped us demonstrate the return on investment to the organization and provided training to ensure that our team gained the skills and knowledge to further develop and manage the model ourselves."
