AI Hallucinations and the Risks of Synthetic Data

AI sometimes makes up facts, which can trick people.

This is called hallucination.

When AI is trained on its own made-up content, it can get worse and start believing its own lies.

This is a big problem because it can make AI less useful and even dangerous.

Companies and governments are trying to fix this by using special rules and checks.

They want to make sure AI stays truthful and safe.

Some new tools, like ChatGPT Translate, help with specific tasks, but the main goal is to keep AI honest and reliable.
