Understanding AI Hallucination

An AI hallucination is output from a generative model, especially a large language model, that is fluent and confident but factually incorrect, fabricated, or unsupported by its source data. Hallucinations stem from the model's probabilistic next-token prediction rather than grounded retrieval, and are mitigated through retrieval-augmented generation, grounding, citation, and human review.
