The quality of your content is the most important factor in how well your artificial intelligence (AI) system performs. The phrase “Garbage in, garbage out” has never been more relevant. Many organizations have years—even decades—of content that may be outdated, inconsistent, inaccurate, or just not suitable for AI.
Val will dive into why curating content thoughtfully is essential for training AI effectively, highlighting the power of selecting and refining information to improve outcomes. She will also provide practical tips for evaluating, cleaning, and organizing content, ensuring it’s accurate, relevant, and diverse enough to support AI applications.
