As AI tools like ChatGPT become more mainstream in day-to-day tasks and decision-making processes, the ability to trust and decipher errors in their responses is critical. A new study by cognitive and computer scientists at the University of California, Irvine finds people generally overestimate the accuracy of large language model (LLM) outputs.As AI tools like ChatGPT become more mainstream in day-to-day tasks and decision-making processes, the ability to trust and decipher errors in their responses is critical.

The rapid development of large language models, such as ChatGPT and similar systems, in recent years has transformed computational linguistics as a research field. But what can these models really do—are they simply mimicking patterns like parrots, or do they represent artificial general intelligence? To answer this, the development of analytical methods is required.The rapid development of large language models, such as ChatGPT and similar systems, in recent years has transformed computational linguistics as a research field.

We humans excel at generalization. If you taught a toddler to identify the color red by showing her a red ball, a red truck and a red rose, she will most likely correctly identify the color of a tomato, even if it is the first time she sees one.We humans excel at generalization.

Coval evaluates AI voice and chat agents like self-driving cars

What do AI voice agents and self-driving cars have in common? Their performance can be evaluated in the same way, argues Brooke Hopkins, a former tech lead at Waymo. Coval, Hopkins’ new startup, looks to do just that. “When I left Waymo, I realized a lot of these problems that we had at Waymo were […]
