Building Trust in Conversational AI: A Review and Solution Architecture Using Large Language Models and Knowledge Graphs

Conversational AI systems have emerged as key enablers of human-like interactions across diverse sectors. Nevertheless, the balance between linguistic nuance and factual accuracy has proven elusive. In this paper, we first introduce LLMXplorer, a comprehensive tool that provides an in-depth review of over 205 large language models (LLMs), elucidating their practical implications, ranging from social and ethical to regulatory, as well as their applicability across industries. Building on this foundation, we propose a novel functional architecture that seamlessly integrates the structured dynamics of knowledge graphs with the linguistic capabilities of LLMs. Validated using real-world AI news data, our architecture adeptly blends linguistic sophistication with factual rigor and further strengthens data security through role-based access control. This research provides insights into the evolving landscape of conversational AI, emphasizing the imperative for systems that are efficient, transparent, and trustworthy.
