The premise
Knowledge base value depends on freshness; AI surfaces curation needs so content owners can act.
What AI does well here
- Surface docs that haven't been updated in N months but are heavily viewed (high value × high staleness)
- Detect contradictions across docs (different docs giving conflicting answers)
- Identify gaps from search queries with no matching doc
- Generate quarterly curation reports for content owners
What AI cannot do
- Substitute for content-owner accountability for accuracy
- Replace the editorial judgment about what to retire vs update
- Generate accurate updates for docs whose underlying info has changed
