Verify citations against supporting passages: What missing control is most direct?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Deployment and Use Medium

The problem is citation faithfulness: each cited passage must be checked to confirm it supports the generated claim.

The question

A media assistant drafts article summaries from retrieved interviews. Its answers include plausible citations, but editors find that some cited passages do not support the claims made. Assume retrieval access, source freshness, human review, and deployment mapping are satisfied. What missing control is most direct?

  1. Require editors to approve summaries before publication.
    Editorial approval may catch some defects, but the stated evidence gap specifically requires systematic verification of citation support.
  2. Expand the interview archive.
    More source material may improve coverage, but it does not ensure each citation actually supports the generated claim.
  3. Verify citations against supporting passages. ✓
    Checking each citation’s entailment against its cited passage directly addresses unsupported relationships between generated claims and retrieved evidence.
  4. Increase the assistant’s citation frequency.
    More citations can increase apparent support while leaving unsupported relationships between claims and passages unresolved.
The trap
A citation is not proof of grounding unless the cited passage supports the specific generated claim.
