AI hallucinations—when artificial intelligence systems generate false or misleading information—are becoming a more serious problem as AI models grow more advanced, experts warn.
Despite improvements in large language models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, recent research and commentary reveal that hallucinations are not only persisting but becoming harder to detect.
What Are AI Hallucinations?
AI hallucinations occur when language models make up facts, cite nonexistent sources, or produce fabricated content that sounds convincingly real. These inaccuracies have become a growing concern for developers, journalists, and researchers relying on AI for information.
According to The New York Times, OpenAI and Google have both acknowledged the issue, with executives stating that hallucinations remain one of the biggest technical hurdles in AI deployment. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, described hallucinations as “a core limitation of current language models that we haven’t yet solved.”
