Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional conversational AI agents suffer from hallucinations due to incorrect, incomplete, or biased training data, leading to nonsensical, false, or inaccurate responses, which can have significant consequences in real-world applications.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a stored framework to guide conversational AI agents by comparing sensor data, identifying required data, and determining queries to verify and supplement input, reducing hallucinations through iterative comparisons and actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a stored framework with guardrails is introduced to guide the AI agent, then reliability and reduction of hallucinations is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The framework is divided into multiple portions (first portion, second portion, etc.), each handling specific aspects of data validation and guidance. This segmentation allows the complex validation process to be broken down into manageable, modular components that can be processed sequentially without overwhelming the system.
Solution Approach 2:
The stored framework is prepared in advance with all necessary guidance rules, data requirements, and validation criteria. By performing the framework preparation beforehand, the system avoids the need for complex real-time decision-making during operation, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing operational complexity.
2Measurement precision
If iterative data comparison and query determination is performed, then measurement precision of input data is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs comparisons with different portions of the framework iteratively, only advancing to the next portion when the current one is satisfied. This partial action approach allows the system to achieve sufficient data accuracy without performing exhaustive validation on all possible data aspects simultaneously, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining necessary precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the results of each comparison to determine whether additional queries are needed or if actions can be taken. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adaptively adjust the validation process, stopping early when confidence is sufficient and only performing additional comparisons when necessary, thus balancing accuracy with time efficiency.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method and system is provided for improving the reliability of conversational artificial intelligence agents and reducing incidence of Al hallucination. In particular, the method comprises obtaining sensor data, and comparing the sensor data to at least a first portion of a stored framework, wherein the stored framework provides guidance for a conversational artificial intelligence (Al) agent to respond, based on sensor data. Based on the comparison, the method identifies at least a portion of data which is required by the stored framework, and determines a query based at least in part on the identified portion of data. The method then obtains a response to the query, and compares the response to a different portion of the stored framework, wherein the portion of the stored framework is selected based on the response to the query. Based on the comparison, the method then performs at least one of: (i) sending a signal to perform an action, based on the second comparison; or (ii) identifying at least another portion of data which is required by the stored framework, and determining another query based at least in part on the identified portion of data.
