arXiv:2604.11759v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Organizational knowledge used by AI agents typically lacks epistemic structure: retrieval systems surface semantically relevant content without distinguishing binding decisions from abandoned hypotheses, contested claims from settled ones, or known facts from unresolved questions. We argue that the ceiling on organizational AI is not retrieval fidelity but \emph{epistemic} fidelity--the system's ability to represent commitment strength, contradiction status, and organizational ignorance as computable properties. We present OIDA, a framework t
The rapid advancement of AI agents and their increasing integration into organizational workflows necessitate more sophisticated knowledge representation beyond simple retrieval.
This concept introduces a crucial architectural missing piece for enterprise AI. It highlights how enhancing epistemic fidelity can unlock deeper AI capabilities and impact organizational decision-making.
The focus for enterprise AI shifts from mere information retrieval to representing the reliability and context of information used. This could lead to more robust and less error-prone AI-driven organizational processes.

AI agents become more reliable and less prone to 'hallucinations' or misinterpretations of organizational knowledge.
This improved reliability leads to increased trust and adoption of AI in critical decision-making processes across enterprises.
Organizations that effectively implement epistemic infrastructure gain a significant competitive advantage through superior AI-driven insights and operational efficiency.
