Understanding the Need for Grounding in Enterprise AI
While generative AI has shown immense potential in transforming enterprise operations, its effectiveness hinges on producing reliable and relevant output. Large Language Models (LLMs) face inherent limitations: knowledge frozen at training time, lack of access to current information, and susceptibility to hallucinations.
The Power of Grounding and RAG
Grounding connects LLMs with sources of truth, while Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) specifically finds and provides relevant information from knowledge bases. These technologies help ground AI responses in enterprise truth – trusted internal data spanning documents, emails, storage systems, and third-party applications.
Key Benefits of Grounded LLMs
- Enhanced customer service with accurate, personalized support
- Automated task execution with improved accuracy
- Deeper insights from multiple data sources
- Innovation driven by better understanding of market trends
