These artificial intelligence models sometimes “hallucinate” by generating incorrect or unsupported information in response to a query.Due to this hallucination problem, an LLM’s responses are often verified by human fact-checkers, especially if a model is deployed in a high-stakes setting like health care or finance. However, validation processes typically require people to read through long documents cited by the model, a task so onerous and error-prone it may prevent some users from deploying generative AI models in the first place.To help human validators, MIT researchers created a user-friendly system…
