As businesses increasingly adopt AI, a critical challenge has emerged: inconsistent performance in real-world applications. Salesforce calls this phenomenon “jagged intelligence”—where AI excels in controlled environments but falters under dynamic enterprise demands.

To address this, Salesforce is pioneering Enterprise General Intelligence (EGI), a new framework designed to ensure AI is not just powerful but reliable, consistent, and safe for business use.

Why Enterprise AI Needs a New Approach

Traditional AI benchmarks often fail to reflect real-world enterprise needs. Issues like:

• Unpredictable outputs in complex business scenarios
• Lack of contextual understanding in CRM workflows
• Security and compliance risks in sensitive operations

…have made many companies hesitant to fully deploy AI at scale.

Salesforce’s EGI rethinks AI alignment for enterprises, prioritizing:
✔ Consistency – Reliable performance across diverse business cases
✔ Specialization – Task-specific AI models over generic LLMs
✔ Safety & Governance – Built-in guardrails for compliance

Key Innovations Powering EGI

1. SIMPLE: Measuring AI Consistency

Salesforce’s SIMPLE dataset (225 reasoning questions) evaluates how AI performs under varying conditions—helping identify and fix inconsistencies before deployment.

2. CRMArena: Real-World AI Testing

This benchmarking framework simulates authentic CRM scenarios (service agents, analysts, managers) to ensure AI adapts to real business needs—not just lab conditions.

3. SFR-Embedding: Smarter Enterprise AI

A new embedding model (ranked #1 on MTEB’s 56-dataset benchmark) enhances AI’s ability to understand complex business data, improving decision-making in Salesforce Data Cloud.

4. xLAM V2: AI That Takes Action

Unlike text-only LLMs, Large Action Models (xLAM V2) predict and execute enterprise tasks—optimizing everything from inventory management to financial forecasting with high precision.

5. SFR-Guard & ContextualJudgeBench: AI Safety

• SFR-Guard (part of Salesforce’s Trust Layer) enforces policy compliance in AI operations.
• ContextualJudgeBench evaluates whether AI responses are accurate, appropriate, and aligned with business standards.

Co-Innovation: Doubling AI Accuracy with Customer Feedback

Salesforce’s customer-driven development has already doubled AI accuracy in key applications.

Itai Asseo, Senior Director of Incubation & Brand Strategy at Salesforce:

“By working directly with enterprises, we’ve refined AI to outperform competitors in real-world use cases—boosting both performance and trust.”

The Future of Enterprise AI

Salesforce’s EGI framework is setting a new standard: AI that works as reliably in business as it does in theory.

For telecom and tech leaders, this means:
✅ Fewer AI surprises – Consistent, predictable outputs
✅ Higher ROI – Specialized models for key workflows
✅ Stronger compliance – Built-in governance & safety

As AI evolves, Salesforce is ensuring enterprises don’t just adopt AI—they can depend on it.
