Why AI Gets Things Wrong (And Can't Use Your Data)

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
AI models only know what was in their training data at a cutoff date, so facts can become stale.
Deployed models cannot access a company's live systems at query time, so they cannot fetch updated policies.
Fine-tuning changes model behavior but does not update its underlying knowledge.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solves this by retrieving current external sources before generating answers.
