Researchers created a new algorithm that acts as an AI hallucination detector and can tell when AI has made something up.
Despite how impressive AI like ChatGPT, Claude, and even Gemini might be, these large language models all have one big problem in common: they hallucinate a lot. This is a big problem in the AI world, and even Apple is worried about how it’ll handle hallucinations in the future with Apple Intelligence. Luckily, a group of researchers have now created an AI hallucination detector, which can tell if an AI has made something up.
The research was carried out by members of Oxford University’s Department of Computer Science. The method used is relatively simple, the researchers explain in the paper. First, they have the chatbot answer the same prompt several times, usually five to ten. Then, they calculate a number for what we call semantic entropy—which is the measure of how similar or different the meanings of an answer are.
