AI Learns to Explain Itself: OpenAI's New Research
Can AI become more trustworthy?
OpenAI is exploring a method to make large language models like ChatGPT generate more understandable and verifiable outputs. Their approach involves a "Prover-Verifier Game" where AIs play against each other, pushing the "proving" AI to explain its answers in a way the "verifying" AI (and, hopefully, humans) can understand. This research offers promise for building more trustworthy AI systems in the future but also highlights the challenge of balancing explainability with raw capability.
