AI hallucination
An AI hallucination is generated information presented as factual even though it’s unsupported or incorrect.
Also known as: LLM hallucination
In a sales team
A call summary states that the economic buyer approved the budget when the transcript only says that funding will be discussed.

What to check in practice
Check unsupported claims, mistaken attribution and invented buyer commitments in realistic outputs.
