Limitations and Concerns of AI Information Extraction Tools

  1. Even with an appropriate prompt from you, sometimes the AI is unable to complete the task. It may take a few tries of editing your prompt to have a response that is useful for you. These AI tools are still in development and may not be able to do the task you are asking them to complete.
  2. AI information extraction tools can have difficulty accurately identifying and extracting information from complex or ambiguous texts. While these tools can be trained to improve their quality of responses, certain extractions may be less accurate than others.
  3. AI tools may struggle with nuances of a language. If the resource includes sarcasm or cultural references, it may lead to inaccurate information extraction.
  4. AI uses the information you specified. If that information is limited, biased, or unrepresentative, the results from the extraction will reflect those challenges.
  5. While some tools support multiple languages, they do not offer the same options and quality of extraction. Others need resources translated before information extraction is completed, adding another layer of possible errors to the process.
  6. Privacy and security are two other concerns. If the resources/input have sensitive or have identifiable information, what precautions are necessary to ensure data protection and/or user privacy is maintained?
