Grounding

The process of connecting AI model outputs to verifiable facts, source documents or real-world knowledge to reduce hallucinations and improve factual accuracy.

Connecting AI responses to real, verifiable sources. Instead of the AI generating answers purely from memory, it checks facts against actual documents or databases first.

Grounding is a strategic governance control that reduces hallucination risk. Your AI strategy should prioritise grounded AI architectures for business-critical applications where factual accuracy is essential.
