Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI grounding and citation verification?
AI grounding ensures every generated output links to verified source material with traceable citations. Unlike basic RAG that retrieves similar text, grounding validates factual accuracy and source authority through cryptographic provenance chains.
How does grounding differ from RAG?
RAG retrieves relevant-seeming passages via similarity search without verifying accuracy. Grounding adds citation chain verification, source authority scoring, and factual validation β ensuring AI outputs are provably correct, not just plausible.
Which industries need AI citation verification most?
Legal, healthcare, government, financial services, and media require citation verification. AI lawyers citing nonexistent cases, chatbots giving 100% illegal advice, and hallucinated medical claims with 7.1% severe harm rates demonstrate the cost of ungrounded AI.
