Always verify AI outputs, especially for facts

Treat AI generations as initial drafts or suggestions, not definitive truths.

The models can confidently present incorrect information, often called 'hallucinations'.

Cross-reference facts, figures, and critical details with reliable sources.

This verification step is crucial before sharing or acting on AI-generated content.

It helps maintain accuracy and prevents the spread of misinformation.

Develop a habit of independent fact-checking for any high-stakes information.

Responsible AI use includes human oversight and critical evaluation.
