Grounding and RAG keep LLM answers tied to your data

Large language models generate plausible text but can hallucinate facts. Grounding connects the model to trusted sources so answers cite and rely on real data. Retrieval-augmented generation…

GCP-CDL · Innovating with Google Cloud artificial intelligence

Responsible AI: fairness, explainability, privacy, safety

Models inherit the biases in their training data, so a hiring model trained on skewed history can discriminate. Responsible AI practices address this with fairness testing, explainability to…
