Four decades building intelligent systems — from expert systems in the first AI spring to multi-billion-node knowledge graphs. I worked with Tim Berners-Lee on the early Semantic Web, making the case for treating relationships as first-class — a case I'm still making. Today I'm building the Collaboration Paradigm.
What I'm building
We've been using AI — prompt in, answer out, the model as oracle. The shift that matters is collaboration: intelligence, of more than one kind, participating in a shared space that accrues. And collaboration is, at bottom, about relationships — which is why the substrate has to treat them as first-class, and why the graph has to do more than describe; it has to run.
