Researchers in China developed a hallucination correction engine for AI models

A team of scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China and Tencent’s YouTu Lab have developed a tool to combat “hallucination” by artificial intelligence (AI) models. Hallucination is the tendency for an AI model to generate outputs with a high level of confidence ...

Humans and AI often prefer sycophantic chatbot answers to the truth — Study

Artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) built on one of the most common learning paradigms have a tendency to tell people what they want to hear instead of generating outputs containing the truth, according to a study from Anthropic. In one of the first studies ...
