Factuality

The degree to which AI-generated content accurately reflects real-world facts and can be verified against authoritative sources.

In Plain Language

How accurate and truthful an AI's outputs are. A highly factual AI sticks to verified information. A low-factuality AI might mix real facts with made-up details.

Why This Matters

Factuality is a governance metric that should be tracked for any AI system that generates or presents information. Your framework should define factuality standards and require regular evaluation against authoritative sources.
