This week, we're discussing a significant issue in AI: hallucinations, where AI systems generate inaccurate or fabricated information. Recently, the BBC conducted an experiment testing several major AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity. They evaluated the accuracy of AI responses to news-related queries based on BBC content. The results indicated that over half of the AI-generated answers contained errors, such as factual inaccuracies, misattributed quotes, and outdated information. In this episode, we'll examine the BBC's findings, discuss the potential causes of AI hallucinations, and explore the challenges of ensuring reliable information in an AI-driven environment. A special thanks to my AI-generated co-hosts Zain and Jayla.
