Current testing methods reward AI systems for guessing wrong answers rather than saying “I don’t know.”Craving the latest in AI, tech breakthroughs, and futuristic innovation? When researchers asked various AI models for co-author Adam Kalai’s birthday, one system gave three different wrong dates across separate attempts. The mathematical fix involves changing how AI systems get graded. OpenAI’s proposed reforms could reshape how the entire AI industry develops and tests language models. The question remains whether users will accept more honest but less confident AI assistants.
