AI Coding Agents and Hallucinations: How Engineers Can Protect Their Clients
The biggest risk in AI isn’t hallucinated facts. It’s hallucinated certainty. When an agent says “I assert,” many experienced engineers hear: “I haven’t verified this.” That’s not an AI problem, it’s an accountability problem. Production systems don’t care what the model believes. They care what actually happened. The future of trustworthy AI won’t be built on better explanations. It will be built on better proof.
