Episode 41: Building Better AI Apps with Knowledge Graphs and RAG

When ChatGPT was first released, there was talk it would lead to traditional search engines, like Google, soon becoming obsolete. That was until users discovered generative AI’s one major drawback – it makes stuff up.

Because of the stochastic nature of ChatGPT, it is never going to be possible to completely eliminate hallucinations. However, there are ways to work around this issue. One such way is through leveraging knowledge graphs and retrieval augmented generation (or RAG).

In this episode, Kirk Marple joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss how knowledge graphs and RAG can be leveraged to improve the quality of generative AI.
