Grounded Truth in an Age of AI Hallucination
AI-generated citations are polluting the scientific literature, corrupting court filings, and eroding the foundations of evidence-based discourse. GenieCore is building patent-pending tools that verify citations and quotations against authoritative sources — returning provenance, not guesswork. If we can’t verify it, we tell you we can’t — prompting you to investigate whether what you’re looking at might be a fabrication.
