Companies Launch AI Projects to Capture Knowledge Stuck in Workers' Heads

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 16

Summary

  • Many companies are starting projects to extract unwritten know-how from employees so corporate AI systems can use how work actually gets done.
  • That knowledge is often missing from manuals and databases, leaving critical processes embedded in workers’ experience rather than in formal records.
  • The effort is emerging as a major corporate AI challenge because turning tacit human judgment into usable data is far harder than deploying models on existing documents.
