Machine-learning models can make mistakes and be difficult to use, so scientists have developed explanation methods to help users understand when and how they should trust a model’s predictions. These explanations are often complex, however, perhaps containing information about hundreds of model features. And they are sometimes presented as multifaceted visualizations that can be difficult […]

Artificial intelligence has taken remarkable strides in recent years. Models that once struggled with basic tasks now excel at solving math problems, generating code, and answering complex questions. Central to this progress is the concept of scaling laws—rules that explain how AI models improve as they grow, are trained on more data, or are powered […]

Chatbots can wear a lot of proverbial hats: dictionary, therapist, poet, all-knowing friend. The artificial intelligence models that power these systems appear exceptionally skilled and efficient at providing answers, clarifying concepts, and distilling information. But to establish trustworthiness of content generated by such models, how can we really know if a particular statement is factual, […]

AI systems depend on vast, meticulously curated datasets for training and optimization. The efficacy of an AI model is intricately tied to the quality, representativeness, and integrity of the data it is trained on. However, there exists an often-underestimated factor that profoundly affects AI outcomes: dataset annotation. Annotation practices, if inconsistent or biased, can inject […]
