AI Hallucination Defense Protocol TrustLayer Receives IETF Standard Number: Large Model Outputs Must Pass External Fact Verification
IETF approves TrustLayer protocol standard requiring AI systems to cross-verify key information through external fact databases before outputting to users.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) officially approved the TrustLayer protocol standard (RFC 9812) on July 18, defining fact verification processes for AI system outputs. Under the protocol, participating AI services must send key claims to at least two independent fact verification databases for comparison before outputting information in high-risk domains such as healthcare, law, and finance. Output is only permitted when claims pass at least one verification source.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind have announced plans to integrate TrustLayer into their enterprise APIs. Protocol co-author Stanford University computer science professor Percy Liang stated: "TrustLayer is not about limiting AI creativity but about establishing a fact safety net for high-risk scenarios."
