The next advancement in AI may not be more data, but rather smarter forgetting mechanisms. Current AI models retrieve information based on semantic similarity, which can lead to irrelevant or unhelpful answers because "semantically similar" does not always equate to "actually useful." This problem stems from the memory architecture and can be addressed by borrowing concepts from epidemiology to develop more effective AI memory systems. AI
