Grounded Generation
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
Generation that is explicitly based on supplied evidence, retrieved documents, tool outputs, or verified context rather than relying only on the model's internal knowledge. Grounded generation is used to reduce unsupported claims and improve traceability.
In plain English: AI generation that stays anchored to provided evidence or sources.
Example: "The legal assistant used grounded generation so each summary sentence could be tied back to the uploaded contract text."
