How can our organization enable Ardoq's generative AI features?
At Ardoq, we prioritize providing our customers with control over their platform settings. Currently, to enable AI-powered features, we'll need your consent for a modification to your existing subscription agreement. This modification includes the addition of a new data processing purpose by Microsoft. Contact your customer success manager to sign the updated Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
As soon as the amendment to your DPA is signed, you'll gain complete control and the ability to manage AI features directly within Ardoq via our in-platform feature toggles. This setting is designed to give admins the flexibility to activate AI functionalities quickly and efficiently, ensuring that your team can leverage the full potential of Ardoq’s platform whenever needed. Simply navigate to Preferences > Organization settings > Feature settings and choose the AI-powered features you want to enable in your organization.
What if my organization wants to disable Ardoq’s generative AI features?
AI-powered features within your organization can only be managed by admin users. To adjust these settings, go to Preferences > Organization settings > Feature settings and disable the AI-powered features you no longer wish active in your organization. Deactivating these features will remove access for all users in your organization, including admins, writers, readers, and contributors, to the AI functionalities.
How does Ardoq tackle the challenge of hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) to ensure data quality?
At Ardoq, we recognize that while not all our AI features are dependent on Large Language Models (LLMs), addressing the issue of "hallucinations" or inaccurate outputs from generative AI is crucial for maintaining high data quality. Our approach emphasizes enhancing the efficiency of user workflows without aiming to fully automate them, ensuring that AI acts as a support rather than a replacement.
To mitigate the risk of hallucinations, we incorporate a human validation step in our process. This ensures that data inputs generated by AI are reviewed and validated by a human, maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability. We're also exploring future enhancements such as change approvals, to add an additional layer of scrutiny to AI-generated changes, and data lineage to allow for tagging and easier identification of AI-generated information.
Moreover, Ardoq employs Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology wherever possible. This technique allows our AI to ground the generated text in factual information, relying on known truths to provide accurate and reliable outputs. Through these measures, we aim to harness the benefits of AI while minimizing the risks associated with LLM hallucinations, ensuring our platform remains a reliable and efficient tool for our users.
