The recent advancements in AI changed what is possible. AI systems can understand the human language well enough to answer questions if given enough information. The dreams of the semantic web are now possible. Using AI, we can move beyond keyword-based alerts. Now we can make filters that use the semantic meaning of text instead of blindly matching keywords. I call this type of systems Semantic Alerts. They use the meaning of a text to alert you to important information. Semantic alerts are more powerful and flexible than simple keyword matching because they allow a smart robot intern to search the web for information and filter it.
