Google partners with Thomson Reuters, Moody’s, and others to provide AI with real-world data, aiming to minimize hallucinations and increase trust in AI models for enterprise customers.

Reputable third-party data sources: Google is partnering with Moody’s, MSCI, Thomson Reuters, and Zoominfo to provide qualified data within Vertex AI, allowing developers to leverage high-quality data and expertise to ensure AI outputs meet their standards:

  • These data sources will be available in Vertex AI starting next quarter, offering a way for businesses to ground their AI responses in trustworthy data.
  • The partnership enables customers to leverage Google’s models and the partner’s data to create reliable AI assistants or applications.

High-fidelity grounding: Google is introducing an experimental preview of high-fidelity grounding, designed to help AI systems work better with specific information:

  • This feature is useful for tasks like summarizing multiple documents simultaneously or extracting important data from financial reports.
  • High-fidelity grounding is powered by Google’s Gemini 1.5 Flash model.

Key differentiators: Google Cloud Chief Executive Thomas Kurian highlights three key aspects that make Google’s generative AI reliable and trustworthy:

  • Google Search provides a trusted source of web data and real-world understanding to help ground AI.
  • Google offers options for data grounding in specific sub-verticals, giving users control over what their AI models are grounded against.
  • High-fidelity grounding directs AI to focus on the prompt, rather than all the data the model was trained on, improving response quality.

Broader implications: Google’s partnerships and new grounding capabilities demonstrate the company’s commitment to providing reliable and trustworthy AI solutions for enterprise customers:

  • By leveraging reputable data sources and offering high-fidelity grounding, Google aims to reduce hallucinations and increase trust in AI models.
  • These developments come alongside other Google Cloud announcements, such as the public release of Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro, Gemma 2, and other Vertex AI updates, positioning Google as a strong contender in the enterprise AI market.
  • As businesses increasingly adopt AI, the need for reliable and accurate outputs becomes paramount, and Google’s focus on model grounding and partnerships with trusted data providers could give the company a competitive edge in attracting enterprise customers.
