RAG systems face several challenges in enterprise adoption, including ensuring data quality and relevance, addressing ethical and privacy concerns, integrating with existing systems and workflows, and maintaining transparency in AI decision-making. Additionally, organizations must be aware of the limitations of vector search for enterprise RAG and navigate complexities in setting up a robust RAG architecture4.
Generative AI has revolutionized search methods by encouraging natural language questions instead of keywords, providing direct answers instead of website lists, and enabling retrieval augmented generation for company-specific search platforms. This has led to a more efficient and user-friendly search experience.
AI has significantly transformed three essential aspects of search: 1) how people ask and look for information, shifting from keywords to natural language questions; 2) how data is sourced for answers, with the advent of large language models and retrieval augmented generation (RAG); and 3) how companies can provide this information to customers, with the potential for decentralized, company-specific search platforms3.
