Evaluating Accuracy
Accuracy check questions:
- 1Are the facts in the response verifiable?
- 2Are any specific statistics, dates, or names cited?
- 3If the response includes code, does the code run correctly?
- 4If the response references documents or research, do those sources actually exist?
- 5Is the response consistent with information you already know is correct?
For tasks where accuracy is critical (code, research, medical, legal), verify all AI claims against authoritative sources.

Key Takeaways
- Accuracy means the response contains correct and verifiable information
- Always verify AI-generated facts against authoritative sources
- AI can produce confident-sounding incorrect information (hallucination)
- For code, test it; for facts, verify them; for citations, check them
- Accuracy is the most critical quality criterion for research and technical tasks
