There are challenges in integrating Generative AI within Conversational AI systems, focusing on ethical, legal, and practical aspects. 

Output Review and Management in Conversational AI: Ensuring Appropriate Interactions 

Adaptive Response Mechanism in Generative AI 

In scenarios where Generative AI produces inappropriate outputs within Conversational AI platforms, establishing a robust response mechanism is essential. This includes revising the output to adhere to set principles or defaulting to a predetermined response. In Teneo, a ‘TRUE’ signal in the output review could initiate a default response, effectively navigating the conversation away from delicate subjects. 

The Evolving Nature of Ethical Principles in AI 

Continuous Revision of Principles in Generative AI 

The guiding principles for responses generated by Conversational AI and Generative AI are dynamic. As highlighted by Anthropic’s view on AI safety, these principles require ongoing evaluation and adjustment, in line with the advancement of AI technologies. In Teneo, this translates to regular updates of the output critique step to ensure the responses remain appropriate and relevant. If the answer is not found relevant, then a fallback output can be used instead. 

Transparency in Conversational AI 

Incorporating a disclaimer about the Generative AI origin in the final output is a prudent practice within Conversational AI. It addresses potential legal issues and clarifies to users that the response, although generated by advanced AI, might not align perfectly with all legal, commercial, or ethical standards. Here users have the option to further customize the output node coming from the LLM, where switching color is one option. 

Post-Processing Integration in Generative AI 

In platforms like Teneo, integrating such disclaimers in the post-processing stage is key. This step, which occurs after evaluating the response but before its delivery, ensures clarity and transparency for the end-user. In addition, Adaptive Answers can be implemented to further control the outputs generated from the LLM. 

Prompt Construction and Protection Against Hacking in Generative AI 

Building and Securing Prompts in Conversational AI 

The development of effective prompts is a nuanced task within Conversational AI, requiring careful attention to align with specific use cases. Protecting these prompts from hacking/injection attempts is crucial in Generative AI to prevent the misuse of the system. Teneo can detect these prompt hacking/injection attempts and allows you to further customize the filters on what is allowed to be sent to the AI model. 

2024: A Crucial Year for AI Security 

The ongoing development of mechanisms to prevent prompt hacking/injection in Generative AI systems continue to increase and get better. In addition of the EU AI Act. This indicates that 2024 could be a landmark year. Enterprises using Generative AI with Conversational AI must develop robust strategies to protect their applications from such vulnerabilities. This is where Teneo shines. 

Iterative Improvements in Teneo’s Generative AI 

Regular refinement of Teneo’s protective measures and response reviews in the context of Generative AI is essential. This practice ensures the safeguards remain effective against new threats and that the system’s responses continue to align with evolving principles. 

Summary and Key Takeaways 

  • Continuous Monitoring and Adaptation: The integration of Generative AI into Conversational AI platforms necessitates the evolution of AI principles and response mechanisms. It is important to monitor these outputs. 
  • Transparency with End-Users: Clearly informing users about the AI-generated nature of responses is vital for ethical and legal compliance in Generative AI.  
  • Prompt Protection: Safeguarding against hacking and injection is essential to maintain the integrity of Conversational AI systems. Teneo helps you detect these attempts. 
  • Ongoing Review Process: Regularly iterating protective measures and output reviews in Generative AI applications like Teneo is critical for staying ahead of potential threats and maintaining relevance. 

As Generative AI becomes more integrated with Conversational AI, managing its deployment with a focus on innovation, ethics, and practicality is key to success in customer interactions.
