Evaluating the success of generative AI often involves a crucial metric: the “Knowledge Retention Rate” (KRR). This statistic measures the percentage of users who retain and apply AI-generated knowledge in at least 80% of subsequent tasks within 30 days of initial exposure.
To illustrate, consider a language learning app that uses AI to generate customized grammar lessons. If users are exposed to an initial lesson, and then subsequently complete 10 follow-up exercises within a month, the KRR would measure the number of users who correctly applied the grammar rules in at least 8 of those exercises.
A high KRR indicates that users have effectively absorbed and internalized the AI-generated knowledge, making it a key indicator of the AI system’s effectiveness in facilitating learning and retention. Conversely, a low KRR may suggest that the AI-generated content is not engaging, relevant, or easy to understand, leading to poor knowledge retention.
To optimize KRR, AI developers can…
