Grounded AI
Grounded AI is an AI system constrained to generate answers only from a defined, retrieved set of source material rather than from its general training data.
Why It Matters
In security reviewsGrounding keeps automated security answers tied to your real evidence, lowering the chance of fabricated or off-policy responses that a reviewer would have to catch.
Workflow Context
Where it shows upUsed in questionnaire automation where a model drafts answers from an indexed library of policies, reports, and past responses.
Common Mistakes
What to avoid- Treating grounded ai as a universal term with no workflow context.
Use this as an editorial checkpoint when the term appears in a buyer review, internal workflow, or vendor evaluation.
