Mitigating LLM Hallucinations and False Outputs in Enterprise Settings
Hallucinations from large language models (LLMs) aren’t just amusing glitches; in a business context, they can spell serious risk. When generative AI (GenAI) produces false or misleading outputs, enterprises face potential legal exposure, reputational harm, and compliance failures. This issue has leapt into prominence recently: 92% of Fortune 500 companies now use ChatGPT or similar […]
What Is Prompt Injection? LLM Data Leaks and Exploits Explained
Prompt injection and data leakage in LLM applications have emerged as twin security nightmares in the age of widespread AI adoption. As businesses rush to integrate large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 into products and workflows, attackers are finding crafty ways to make these models misbehave, often with dire consequences. Prompt injection attacks (including novel […]
How to Safely Enable Generative AI for Employees
Safely enabling ChatGPT and other generative AI tools for employees has become a hot-button issue in many enterprises. On one hand, businesses see huge potential – nine out of ten employers are now seeking staff with “ChatGPT experience”. On the other hand, recent surveys reveal that over half of enterprise employees have already pasted confidential data into public AI […]
How to Secure Your Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Applications
Retrieval-augmented generation, better known as RAG, is causing quite a stir these days. Why is that? It gives Large Language Models (LLMs) a serious boost by hooking them up to outside knowledge, so their answers aren’t just smarter but also more accurate, relevant, and current. It’s a bit like handing your AI a library card […]
