Artificial intelligence systems, especially large language models, can generate outputs that sound confident but are factually incorrect or unsupported. These errors are commonly called hallucinations. They arise from probabilistic text generation, incomplete training data, ambiguous prompts, and the absence of real-world grounding. Improving AI reliability focuses on reducing these hallucinations while preserving creativity, fluency, and usefulness.Higher-Quality and Better-Curated Training DataOne of the most impactful techniques is improving the data used to train AI systems. Models learn patterns from massive datasets, so inaccuracies, contradictions, or outdated information directly affect output quality.Data filtering and deduplication: Removing low-quality, repetitive, or contradictory sources reduces…
