Bridging the Data-Information-Knowledge Continuum
Before we delve deeper into how AI is transforming this continuum, it’s essential first to understand what each term means. Data represents the raw facts and figures—unprocessed and devoid of context. Information is what you get when you process data and give it meaning. Finally, knowledge is the synthesis of information derived from experience, learning, and insights gained over time. This continuum illustrates an evolution: transforming seemingly chaotic data into comprehensible information, which then becomes valuable knowledge.
