Grounding is the process of linking an AI system's language to specific information in an image, screen, or document. In computer use, it means pinpointing where on the screen a button or menu named in an instruction is located.

Unlike object detection alone, grounding establishes which visible element an instruction refers to. The term is also used when an AI-generated answer is tied to supporting documents.
