Since, AI systems are prone to making decisions based on keeping a bird\u2019s eye view or a holistic approach from the information it contains, it often results in generating half-baked outputs because of integration problems. Limited availability is one of the primary reasons why many AI systems struggle with generating accurate results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With Generative AI, the data sets required are meant to be more critically assessed &amp; of high-quality.
