4 - I, Hallucinate | Dr. Huss and Dr. Ghosh w/ Angela Black

In this episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon of AI hallucinations — not just as technical glitches, but as fundamental aspects of how large language models (LLMs) work. Joined by our first guest Angela Black, we explore how confabulation better describes what AI systems are really doing, and why this matters in fields like education, academic research, and information ethics. ☕ Enjoying the show?
