C6: Navigating AI Complexity

Managing LLMs' unpredictability, hallucinations, and explainability while selecting tools and optimizing context, memory, and training.

Understanding the Challenge

As AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), become more sophisticated, they also become more complex to manage and understand. Key challenges include:

Unpredictable outputs and behaviors from LLMs
Hallucinations or false information generation
Lack of explainability in AI decision-making processes
Difficulty in selecting appropriate AI tools and frameworks
Optimizing context, memory, and training for improved performance

Sub-Challenges

C6.1: Managing Unpredictability

Developing strategies to handle and mitigate unexpected outputs from AI systems.

C6.2: Addressing Hallucinations

Implementing techniques to reduce false information generation in LLMs.

C6.3: Enhancing Explainability

Improving the interpretability and transparency of AI decision-making processes.

C6.4: Tool Selection and Integration

Navigating the landscape of AI tools and frameworks to choose the most appropriate solutions.

C6.5: Performance Optimization

Fine-tuning AI models for optimal performance in specific use cases.

Strategies for Navigating AI Complexity
