Grounding

Definition

Grounding refers to the process of linking an AI response to specific information from external sources or provided data. Instead of relying solely on the knowledge stored in the model, an AI system can, for example, draw on current websites or documents. This is intended to make responses more transparent and factually reliable. However, grounding does not automatically prevent errors or fabricated statements.
