A new research paper explores the "knowing-saying gap" in language models, where internal probes can detect errors that the model's stated confidence does not reveal. The study found that while probes are accurate at detecting corrupted context, they are not always informative about the final answer's correctness. This disconnect has implications for monitoring AI systems in real-world deployments, as different probing methods have varying effectiveness across model families and error types. AI
IMPACT Highlights limitations in current AI monitoring techniques, suggesting a need for model-aware and error-type-aware routing for reliable deployment.
