# What could possibly go wrong?

### Limitations of AI

When using generative AI, you need to be aware of possible bias, inaccuracy, and hallucinations.

* Use your critical thinking skills to detect and question bias
* Use your information literacy skills and lateral reading to verify accuracy
* Use credible sources instead of quoting or paraphrasing text generated by AI

### Hallucinations

A hallucination is an output generated by a generative AI that is not grounded in reality. It is important to fact check any outputs produced generative AI.
