Section outline
-
The content in this section is about hallucinations and fact-checking generative AI tools and covers the following topics:
- What are "hallucinations"?
- Why do hallucinations occur?
- What can we do to mitigate and correct hallucinations in generative AI output?
- How do you fact-check generative AI output?
Work through the materials to develop your awareness of hallucinations in generative AI tools and how to fact-check the output.
