The next AI advantage isn’t a bigger model — it’s a better semantic layer

As agentic AI moves from pilots to production, semantic alignment—shared, machine-readable business definitions—has become a prerequisite for safe deployment. This is a people and process problem, not a model problem, and it requires organizational work that most data teams aren't yet structured to do.

‘Rising threats and under-resourcing for cybersecurity is taking a toll on the people tasked with managing it’: Cyber teams are being pushed to breaking point – and AI is doing little to alleviate strain

AI is being marketed as a cybersecurity force multiplier, but practitioners report it's not reducing workload or burnout in under-resourced teams. This is a workforce reality check on AI's promised impact on a critical profession.
