Why RAG is the most accessible path to commercial AI

Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, enterprises have been exploring generative AI but struggle with implementation. To bridge this gap, organizations must first solve data integration and management challenges before optimizing interaction with foundation models like GPT-4. Retaining, augmenting, and generating (RAG) is a practical approach to enhance these models with accurate, context-rich data from various sources. Key challenges in implementing RAG include ensuring reliable data movement into accessible platforms and maximizing its capabilities for business needs. Automated data integration and effective prompt engineering, data curation, and knowledge graph usage are crucial strategies for successful RAG implementation.
