Enhancing AI Performance Through Better Content for Training

As companies explore the potential of AI, it's common to turn to these tools for inspiration—even for blog topics. In one instance, we sought AI's help in generating ideas for a document management-focused post. The result? A general suggestion that wasn't particularly useful. However, what stood out was that the sources cited in the AI's response largely came from companies entrenched in the document management space. This highlights a common AI limitation: the most prolific sources often dominate the conversation, regardless of whether they offer the best insights.

This observation underscores a crucial point—content quality is what truly drives AI effectiveness. AI engines perform best when trained on content that reflects accurate, targeted information. For instance, you wouldn't train a medical advice AI system using engineering documents. While this may seem obvious, organizations exploring AI solutions should prioritize content quality as a key focus.

Training your AI engine with relevant, well-structured content leads to better outcomes. Additionally, AI can play a powerful role in improving your existing content. Consider medical records: they may contain illegible doctor notes, incorrect treatment data, or even misdated entries. An AI engine can help identify these content issues, ensuring data is accurate, organized, and useful.

Improving your training data is achievable with a few key steps:

1. Organize Your Content: Ensure your information is structured logically. For instance, align vendor contracts with your vendor list to improve data consistency.

2. Identify and Assign Dates: While some documents include clear date references, others may have handwritten or missing dates. Adding this information to document metadata improves data reliability.

3. Redesign Data Entry Processes: After cleaning your content, establish processes that maintain data quality moving forward. Implement workflows or data validation tools to ensure new information is captured accurately.

By investing in content quality and structuring your data effectively, you'll enhance your AI engine's ability to deliver better insights and results. Well-maintained content not only improves training data but also sustains AI performance over time.
