Generative AI is not the same as retrieval

Published Categorized as Insights

Excellent insights and conclusions by Alex Powell from a recent AI event:

  • Search is more important now than ever
  • We shouldn’t trust LLMs
  • More progress is needed with evaluation [of search & discovery methods]
  • RAG has gone ‘big time’
  • The ‘Retrieval’ part of RAG is often neglected
  • Search engines are turning into ‘answer engines’
  • Users need to be educated to use AI in an informed way
