Listen "AI Agents: Not Always Right But Seldom In Doubt"
Episode Synopsis
This week I discuss the latest BBC study on AI answer quality from public data sources. As I discuss, the BBC and EBU found that 45% of news queries produce erroneous answers, so the reality has set in: public domain AI engines are neither “superintelligent” nor are they perfect.
Yet they are very self-confident. So we, as users, need to be careful.
As you’ll hear, there are three things to consider here, and you can about this in my latest article on the topic. For those of us in corporate roles, the message is clear: data quality must be our #1 priority, and this is a whole new domain for HR and other service functions.
