How BPM + Human Involvement Can Prevent AI Hallucinations in Contract & Document Automation

AI is transforming business operations, especially in automating complex document processes. But as powerful as it is, AI is prone to hallucinations—where it generates outputs that are incorrect, misleading, or even entirely fabricated.

The stakes are especially high in Contract & Document Creation, where compliance, accuracy, and traceability are non-negotiable.

⚠️ Why AI Hallucinations Happen

AI hallucinations often occur due to:

1. Incomplete or Ambiguous Data: When AI attempts to fill gaps based on patterns, it may produce incorrect outputs if the context isn’t well-defined.
2. Over-Generalization: Models may generate answers that seem plausible but are factually inaccurate.
3. Biases in Training Data: AI systems trained on limited or biased datasets can extrapolate false conclusions.
4. Lack of Human Oversight: AI models, when left unchecked, can produce hallucinations that go undetected until they cause damage.

🔑 How Combining Ultimus & Docfield Minimizes AI Hallucinations

By integrating Ultimus (BPM) with Docfield (Contract & Document Creator), businesses can establish a robust framework that blends AI capabilities with structured human oversight. Here’s how:

1. Contextual Workflow Structuring (Ultimus):
2. Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) Review (Ultimus + Docfield):
3. Automated Audit Trails (Ultimus):

📌 Real-World Use Case: Contract Generation

Imagine a procurement department using Docfield to automatically generate supplier contracts. The AI generates contracts based on inputted data and predefined templates. But during generation, the AI misinterprets ambiguous supplier obligations, creating invalid or risky clauses.

Here’s how Ultimus + Docfield prevents costly errors:

1. Docfield generates the initial contract using AI, referencing approved templates.
2. Ultimus initiates a review workflow where flagged clauses (e.g., payment terms, confidentiality agreements) are routed to a procurement manager for approval.
3. If corrections are made, they are recorded by Ultimus for auditability and AI model improvement.
4. The final document is securely stored and tracked for future reference.

This integrated process ensures that AI-generated documents are accurate, compliant, and reliable. ✅

🔥 The Bottom Line

Combining AI-powered platforms like Docfield with process orchestration solutions like Ultimus creates a powerful safety net. By embedding human oversight into automated workflows, organizations can enhance efficiency without compromising accuracy.
