Google’s new ASPIRE system teaches AI the value of saying ‘I don’t know’
Google researchers have developed a new AI technique called ASPIRE that helps large language models like GPT-2 and Google's OPT estimate confidence in their own predictions and abstain from answering when unsure.
Google researchers are shaking up the AI world by teaching artificial intelligence to say “I don’t know.” This new approach, dubbed ASPIRE, could revolutionize how we interact with our digital helpers by encouraging them to express doubt when they’re unsure of an answer. “LLMs can now understand and generate language at unprecedented levels, but their use in high-stakes applications is limited because they sometimes make mistakes with high confidence,” said Chen, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-author of the paper.
