Summary

The guide explains that AI agents can invent facts or misread context, making detection difficult. It outlines four hallucination types and details production methods like faithfulness checks, self-consistency, semantic entropy, and confidence thresholds. Teams can combine these checks with workflow automation to handle failures.

What changed

  • Classifies four types of AI hallucinations: factual, contextual, confabulations, and self-contradictions.
  • Explains production detection methods including faithfulness checks, source verification, self-consistency, and semantic entropy.
  • Details how to route outputs using confidence thresholds and human-in-the-loop steps.
  • Shows how to implement detection logic inside n8n workflows using nodes and evaluation frameworks.
