Can intelligence be in your data?

LLMs are only as good as the data to which they have access. It’s not just the data per se-how it is prepared and organized can decide whether a query is answered intelligently or not answered at all. This data readiness affects LLM responsiveness by a factor of 2-large enough to have a user wait or quit. And the variation in query cost between well curated versus loosely assembled data can be in orders of magnitude! The moral of the story is simple: enterprise Gen-AI initiatives should be singularly focused on enhancing the quality of data to be used by LLMs. Enterprise intelligence should reside in the Data.
