Picture this – a member of your association struggling for help with a complex and time-sensitive problem. They sift through countless videos and articles but none of these resources address the specifics of the problem they are faced with. It’s nuanced and very hard to search for. Imagine the frustration and anxiety as the hours slip away and they are no closer to a solution. 

Now, imagine instead a chat interface where they can articulate the problem in a conversational fashion and where a system will actively help the member to enunciate the problem so that a solution can be found based on what the system understands about the domain using knowledge resources and even making inferences based on those resources. Precise, accurate and personalised with no hassle and no wasted time. 

This is how AI is changing membership education and knowledge services and it’s coming to a membership organisation you know sooner than you think.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the stuff of science fiction, it’s here, and it’s transforming how associations serve their members. But making the leap to AI isn’t as simple as flipping a switch. Behind the seamless experiences it can deliver, lies a world of strategy, innovation, and adaptability.

Many associations start their AI journey with big ambitions but rigid plans. They lock in requirements before truly understanding the power or the pitfalls of AI. The result? Missed opportunities to pivot, refine, and create something really extraordinary. That’s where the combination of a thoughtful approach and game changing architectures like Mixture of Experts (MoE) comes in.

MoE doesn’t just enhance AI, it allows it to evolve, learning and adapting to deliver ever-more relevant insights and experiences. For associations, this means more than efficiency, it’s a chance to deepen member engagement, amplify knowledge sharing, and position themselves at the forefront of their field. The key is knowing how to unlock it.

What is Mixture of Experts (MoE), and why should associations care?

Imagine a lawyer preparing for a critical case. They need precise, reliable answers, fast. If they turn to ChatGPT, they risk receiving generalised or inaccurate responses due to its broad, non-specialised design. 

Instead, they choose Westlaw, a Thomson Reuters product powered by the Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture. Unlike ChatGPT, which uses a single model to handle all tasks, MoE deploys a network of specialised models, or “experts,” each finely tuned for specific domains. 

The result? 

Smarter, faster, and significantly more accurate outputs that redefine what AI can deliver.

While ChatGPT aims to be a versatile, one-size-fits-all solution, it often struggles with complex or domain-specific queries, increasing the risk of errors or hallucinations. MoE, on the other hand, excels where precision matters most, dividing tasks among its specialised experts to ensure that each query is handled by the best-equipped model. This approach not only outperforms ChatGPT in accuracy but also delivers results more efficiently, especially for high-stakes applications.

For associations managing intricate knowledge systems like Clinical Guidelines or Regulatory Standards, MoE offers an unmatched advantage: tailored, validated, and reliable responses that elevate the member experience beyond what general-purpose AI can achieve.

By harnessing the power of this advanced AI architecture, associations can:

• Enhance accuracy: Imagine an AI system that knows exactly where to look for answers, tapping into topic-specific “experts” to ensure precise, contextually relevant responses.

• Minimize hallucinations: One of AI’s biggest challenges is hallucinations, those moments when systems provide incorrect or nonsensical answers. MoE combats this with built-in validation pipelines and fact-checking mechanisms, delivering reliable information every time.

• Grow and retain its value: As your association’s knowledge base grows, so can your AI system. MoE makes it easy to add new specialized models to handle emerging topics, ensuring your AI remains agile and future-ready.

Just as Westlaw revolutionised how lawyers navigate legal complexities, MoE can empower associations to transform their own knowledge delivery, equipping members with tools that save time, enhance accuracy, and deepen engagement. 

It’s not just technology; it’s a smarter way to serve your community.

Key goals: Delivering value to associations

Check this scenario: a physician faced with a critical decision needs to consult clinical guidelines. Instead of combing through pages of dense documentation, they ask a question and receive a clear, actionable response tailored precisely to their needs. This is the kind of value AI can bring to associations and their members.

Through years of experience building customised AI solutions, we’ve learned that associations have unique goals: empowering members to find answers faster, streamlining workflows, and delivering meaningful, incremental improvements. By focusing on realistic outcomes, associations can unlock AI’s transformative potential without overpromising or underdelivering.

Example: Transforming clinical guidelines and Standards of Practice

For medical and scientific associations, AI-driven systems are changing the game. Members can ask questions on clinical guidelines or standards of practice and receive accurate, actionable insights, saving time, improving decision-making, and enhancing trust.

Key deliverables for associations

• Live AI system: We deliver fully functional AI solutions leveraging Type I or Type II Agentic Architecture, designed to provide meaningful, context-aware responses to member queries.
• Built-in feedback collection: These systems include mechanisms for gathering real-world user feedback, enabling continuous learning and improvement.
• Roadmap for future enhancements: From expanding the scope of guidelines to integrating new features and use cases, we provide a clear plan to scale and evolve your AI system.
• Enhanced accuracy with MoE: Using Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, we achieve industry-leading accuracy rates of 75–85%, dramatically reducing hallucinations through pre-processing, validation pipelines, and fact-checking.
• Actionable insights and reporting: Our systems provide summarised results, user analytics, and lessons learned, equipping your organisation with data to drive ongoing success.

By delivering these tangible outcomes, we empower associations to provide unparalleled value to their members, transforming how they access and act on critical knowledge, one innovative step at a time.

Demystifying AI: Education is key

Imagine embarking on a transformative journey with AI but feeling overwhelmed by the jargon, possibilities, and pitfalls. That’s why education is the cornerstone of any successful AI initiative. To help associations unlock AI’s full potential, we offer a tailored AI Education Workshop that demystifies key concepts and paves the way for success.

What the Workshop Covers:

• Understanding AI building blocks: Dive into the fundamentals of LLMs, Mixture of Experts (MoE), and AI Agents to understand how these technologies drive innovation.
• Capabilities and limitations: Learn how AI interprets queries, mitigates hallucinations, and delivers actionable, accurate responses.
• Regulatory considerations: Navigate critical topics like GDPR compliance, the AI Act, and ethical AI deployment to ensure your solution meets global standards.
• Architecture insights: Explore the trade-offs between closed-source and open-source systems, and compare monolithic and agent-based designs to identify what works best for your needs.
• Real-World case studies: Gain inspiration and insights from examples of AI implementations, including their successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
• Ongoing AI support: Discover why post-launch monitoring, feedback, and system tuning are crucial for adapting to user needs and maintaining long-term accuracy.
