The cleanup trap: Stop asking RAG to fix bad data

The cleanup trap: Stop asking RAG to fix bad data

The enterprise technology ecosystem is caught in a costly cycle. Over the past two years, millions of dollars have been funneled into generative AI pilots, yet many of these initiatives stall out before ever reaching a live production environment.When a project fails, the immediate instinct of technical leadership is often to blame the model: The … Read more
