When AI Gets It Wrong: The Hidden Risks of Hallucinations in Engineering Work
Summary
AI tools can speed engineering work but can also produce convincing yet incorrect outputs (hallucinations) that may analyze the wrong source. An engineer discovered an AI assistant had pulled from a similarly named file in SharePoint, highlighting how misleading outputs can slip past reviewers. You should always validate AI results against source material, verify the source itself, and keep experienced engineers in the loop to avoid safety, compliance, or quality issues. Treat AI as an assistant that augments judgment rather than a replacement for engineering expertise.
