⚡️ How to turn Documents into Knowledge: Graphs in Modern AI — Emil Eifrem, CEO Neo4J

The core argument: AI systems need more than top-K chunks. They need structured context about entities, relationships, permissions, authorship, provenance, and history. GraphRAG combines vector search with graph traversal so retrieval can start semantically, then expand through meaningful relationships. This makes answers more accurate, easier to debug, and more explainable. Emil Eifrem, CEO of Neo4J, explains why graph databases are becoming newly important in AI systems. The conversation covers Neo4j’s origin, GraphRAG, knowledge graphs, agent memory, and why future AI applications may need graph-shaped context layers.
