Written by Seth Earley | Sep 8, 2023 2:54:00 PM

Enterprises are approaching Generative AI — particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT — with cautious optimism. While the potential benefits include boosting productivity, enhancing customer experience through personalization, and accelerating knowledge discovery, significant risks remain. Organizations face challenges such as unrealistic expectations, brand misalignment, hallucinated responses, data privacy concerns, and the financial burdens of enterprise LLM platforms.

Successful deployment demands a disciplined strategy:

  • Understanding LLM limitations and requiring human oversight

  • Implementing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to eliminate hallucinations

  • Structuring knowledge with metadata to improve system accuracy

  • Focusing on clear, testable use cases tied to measurable outcomes

  • Embedding LLM outputs into workflows while maintaining strong governance

Ultimately, winning with Generative AI hinges on strengthening your organization's knowledge foundation — treating information architecture, metadata, and content operations as critical enablers of digital transformation.
