Do you know the potential of your data? Discover it now with Azure OpenAI
There is a lot going on in the world of artificial intelligence. Every day there are reports claiming that our world will soon be revolutionized. Although this may be an exaggeration, many companies have started to jump on the bandwagon. It is therefore important to know what options are available to keep your company effortlessly at the top. In today’s post, you’ll learn how to harness the power of Azure OpenAI to chat with your own data – in just a few minutes.
Data preparation is the basis for success
Before you start, you should remember that AI is all about data. Their quality, quantity and other characteristics play a decisive role.
The most important thing to know is that the AI cannot judge which information is correct. For example, if the content is out of date in one document and up-to-date in another, as in this case:
- Document A: John Doe is the CEO of our company
- Document B: Anna Smith is the managing director of our company
The answer to the question “Who is the CEO of our company?” can lead to both John Doe and Anna Smith. The results are not clear.
If there are a particularly large number of documents, performance problems can also occur and response times can be very long. In such cases, it is advisable to split the documents into several indexes, for example, in order to increase efficiency.
So before you think about using artificial intelligence, you should make sure that your data is optimally prepared.
