AI Systems Utilize External Memory for Enhanced Context

Modern AI systems are increasingly using external memory to improve their functionality. This involves accessing information stored outside the model itself, such as in databases, documents, or cloud storage. For example, when asked about a contract expiration date, an AI can retrieve the relevant document and extract the necessary information to provide an accurate response. This process, known as Retrieval, is a key component of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which combines retrieved data with language model outputs.
