The founders of TrustGraph, Daniel Davis and Mark Adams, discuss their journeys with big data, knowledge graphs, and data engineering. Knowledge graphs are hard to learn - no matter what Mark says, and he gives everyone a crash course on them, why querying graphs is tricky, and what makes for reliable data services. The conversation ends with a discussion of what makes for "explainable AI" and the future of AI security.
