DeepMind Unveils AlphaEvolve to Tackle Chatbot ‘Hallucinations’
London, UK: Google’s AI research arm, DeepMind, introduced a next-generation artificial intelligence system named AlphaEvolve, aimed at reducing “hallucinations” in large language models. Such hallucinations occur when chatbots confidently generate fabricated information. DeepMind says AlphaEvolve employs a suite of self-check mechanisms—comparing internal facts, verifying sources, and running context checks—so the model can correct errors on the fly. The technology is positioned as a crucial step for AI’s integration into high-stakes domains like healthcare, finance, and customer service, where misinformation can have serious repercussions. Analysts say the move reflects industry-wide concern about generative AI’s reliability and the potential regulatory scrutiny it could face.
