Arizona Tribune - TrustScale Launches Argus to Detect and Correct AI Hallucinations and Power Safe Enterprise AI Adoption

LOS ALTOS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / As generative AI scales, research confirms that large language models (LLMs) continue to hallucinate, fabricate sources and make mistakes with confidence. This creates unprecedented risks for enterprises deploying AI for agentic automation, research, content creation and decision-making.

To solve this problem, TrustScaletoday announced the launch of Argus, a patent-pending AI assurance platform. Unlike "AI checking AI" approaches, Argus uses empirical evidence and deterministic verification to review AI-generated content, flag unsupported claims and suggest evidence-based corrections before AI mistakes are published, shared or relied upon.

Research shows that AI hallucination rates vary greatly by task and increase with complexity. Even simple query responses on frontier models can average up to 20% hallucinations, with industry-specific AI query responses hallucinating as much as 88% of the time (Stanford RegLab). Hallucinations cost organizations nearly $70 billion a year. Argus empowers users to verify AI-generated claims up to 135x faster than manual research, reducing hallucinations and improving AI output accuracy by up to 98.5%.

"The AI industry spent years making AI smarter, but trustworthy AI is the bigger problem to solve now," said Lawrence Snapp, CEO of TrustScale. "AI is probabilistic by design but enterprises are responsible for the costs and risks of AI mistakes. Argus mitigates the problem by providing independent evidence before users act on generative AI outputs."

Healthcare, law and academia are high-stakes industry examples where AI users are unsuspectingly exposed to AI hallucination risks. Compounding the issue, Anthropic research shows 91.3% of AI users do not check facts and claims, creating environments where a 'silent failure' can lead to direct human harm. In real-time, Argus prevents unintended consequences by detecting hallucinations, overlaying color-coded TrustScore highlights and offering deterministic evidence to support or contradict AI claims. It then empowers users with inline suggestions to correct AI mistakes with one-click.

Based on more than 20 years of AI data experience, Argus is built on the TrustScale Engine, a proprietary platform that creates a continuous trust control plane for AI assurance, helping users make informed decisions without disrupting workflows.

"AI makers claim to be safer for you, self-governing or truth-seeking. But conflicting evidence, varying perspectives, nuanced language and independent assurance matter when it comes to AI", said Dominique Shelton Leipzig, CEO of Global Data Innovation. "TrustScale's Argus is the first real-time, continuous assurance platform that empowers humans with evidence and enables trustworthy AI. The AI stakes are too high to let a few big models dictate your truth."

Argus by TrustScale is available today in 12 languages for enterprises and as a research preview for individuals at TrustArgus.ai or use it anywhere via the Chrome extension. The enterprise solution can be installed in private and public data environments alongside any AI model, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok. Request a demo at www.TrustScale.ai.
