When AI answers with confidence—but not accuracy—who gets hurt first?

In this eye-opening episode, Alon Bochman, founder of RAGMetrics and former head of AI at Microsoft and Google, unpacks the hidden dangers inside today's most trusted AI tools.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
- The #1 reason RAG systems mislead users (and why most teams miss it)
- How to harden your AI system for seniors, caregivers, and critical domains
- Why hallucination isn't just a bug—it's a systemic design flaw
- How to embed empathy, accuracy, and auditability into your RAG pipeline
- The ethical red line when AI pretends to “remember” someone with dementia
