Gartner 2025 AI Hype Cycle: The focus is shifting from hype to foundational innovations Knowledge Graphs are a key part of the shift, positioned on the slope of enlightenment By Haritha Khandabattu and Birgi Tamersoy: Al investment remains strong, but focus is shifting from GenAl hype to foundational innovations like Al-ready data, Al agents, Al engineering and ModelOps. This research helps leaders prioritize high-impact, emerging Al techniques while navigating regulatory complexity and operational scaling. As Gartner notes, Generative AI capabilities are advancing at a rapid pace and the tools that will become available over the next 2-5 years will be transformative. The rapid evolution of these technologies and techniques continues unabated, as does the corresponding hype, making this tumultuous landscape difficult to navigate. These conditions mean GenAI continues to be a top priority for the C-suite. Weaving in another foundational concept, Systems of Intelligence as coined by Geoffrey Moore and reference by David Vellante and George Gilbert: Systems of Intelligence are the linchpin of modern enterprise architecture because [AI] agents are only as smart as the state of the business represented in the knowledge graph. If a platform controls that graph, it becomes the default policymaker for “why is this happening, what comes next, and what should we do?” For enterprises, there is only one feasible answer to the "who controls the graph" question: you should. To do that, start working on your enterprise knowledge graph today, if you haven't already.

The new AI powered Anayltics stack is here…says Gartner’s Afraz Jaffri ! A key element of that stack is an ontology powered Semantic Layer that serves as the brain for AI agents to act on knowledge of your internal data and deliver timely, accurate and hallucination-free insights! #semanticlayer #knowledgegraphs #genai #decisionintelligence

To gain competitive advantage from gen AI, enterprises need to be able to add their own expertise to off-the-shelf systems. Yet standard enterprise data stores aren't a good fit to train large language models.

This study, sponsored by Graphwise, explores LLMs and RAG in enterprises and provides statistics from executives across various industries.
