The future of AI: A deep dive into RAG

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is an AI framework that combines traditional database retrieval capabilities with large language models (LLMs), resulting in more accurate responses due to contextual improvements and updated data sources. RAG has several emerging use cases, including customer service, content creation, research, and healthcare. It also improves the overall user experience by making chatbots more human-like and reducing the likelihood of inaccurate details. In web development, RAG AI can generate snippets of code that assist programmers and automate tasks such as creating release notes and documentation. However, it comes with challenges like limited iterative reasoning, sensitivity to language, high computational costs, data quality dependence, and ethical concerns.
