HUMHUM-003 — Human-AI Collaboration Design Flaws

LLM Decoding Randomness Causes Compounding Hallucination Errors

4/5Sector: OtherGeography: GlobalStage: DevelopIngested: —

Executive Summary

Autoregressive token generation in large language models accumulates errors, while standard sampling strategies introduce randomness that systematically increases hallucination rates. Organisations deploying LLMs in consequential workflows face material risk of confident, plausible, and incorrect outputs that evade routine quality controls.
