Simple meaning
Fact-checking means comparing an answer with reliable sources before believing it or acting on it.
Example
If AI gives medical, legal, financial, or travel information, check an official source or ask a qualified person.
Why it matters
AI can make mistakes and still sound confident.
Common mistake
Do not ask the same AI tool “Are you sure?” and treat that as proof. Check outside sources.
Safety note
For urgent or expensive decisions, do not rely on AI alone.
