Challenge confident answers

One-minute script

AI systems can express weak, incomplete, or false claims in a confident voice. Tone is presentation—not a calibrated measure of evidence or correctness.

Try this

Ask for supporting evidence and test one high-impact claim independently.

Ask together

What evidence would change our minds?

Facilitator notes

Do not use an AI-generated citation as confirmation. Open the source, confirm that it exists, and check whether it supports the claim.

Source notes

The NIST Generative AI Profile identifies confabulation and recommends measurement, source verification, and context-appropriate risk management.
