A new research paper explores the self-knowledge capabilities of black-box decision models, specifically auditing a model named Jev. The study found that while Jev's confidence is calibrated on standard tasks, it fails to accurately reflect a lack of knowledge. The model assigned high confidence to incorrect or fabricated information when presented with data outside its known boundaries. Targeted questions about the model's knowledge proved more effective than confidence scores in identifying settled outcomes and sufficient evidence, though they struggled with realistic names or removed dates.
