  2. How AI Hallucinations Are Creating Real Security Risks in Critical Infrastructure

    Large language models are increasingly integrated into critical infrastructure, acting as a 'nervous system' for decision-making in sectors like energy, finance, and transportation. When these models hallucinate, producing factually incorrect or distorted outputs, it can lead to significant security incidents rather than mere user experience issues. This risk is amplified in critical infrastructure where AI outputs can directly influence physical processes and regulatory compliance, potentially causing widespread disruption and financial damage.
