Abstract

The development of AI technology has led to the use of large language models (LLM, MLLM) in the education system. However, the problem of AI hallucinations remains a pressing issue when using such models in the educational process. The article examines the problem of hallucinations in LLMs and MLLMs in the context of the educational process. It has been shown that as a result of hallucinations, AI can generate erroneous information, unreliable, fictional content, fabrications, and disinformation. This can negatively impact all participants in the educational process and the education system as a whole. To address the problem of AI hallucinations in the education system, a comprehensive approach is needed, involving the improvement of technologies, training in the use of AI, the development of pedagogical practices, and the creation of regulatory measures.
