Google’s New AI Tool DataGemma: A Mixed Bag for Fact-Checking Accuracy

Chatbots’ “hallucinations” have long plagued AI, causing reliability issues for companies like Google. Enter DataGemma, a tool designed to fact-check AI responses against reliable data. By using methods like Retrieval-Interleaved Generation and Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Google aims to create more trustworthy AI. However, DataGemma’s success hinges on expanding its data set.
