Romanian AI demo's safety checks fail to detect fabricated answers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Romanian AI demo, ro-cited-answers, which uses the Gemma2:2b model, was tested for its safety checks against fabricated answers. The system's gates, designed to verify answer provenance by checking citations, numbers, and grounding in source text, failed to detect invented answers in 6 out of 12 cases. These invented answers were constructed using words and numbers from the original source documents, highlighting a failure in relevance checking rather than provenance. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in current AI safety mechanisms, indicating that provenance checks alone are insufficient to prevent the generation of plausible but incorrect information.

RANK_REASON The item describes the results of a test on an AI system's safety checks, which is a form of research into AI capabilities and limitations. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    We Tested Our Own AI Safety Checks. They Caught Nothing.

    <p><strong>Quick answer:</strong> we tested the four safety checks in our own open-source Romanian question-answering demo against a model that was allowed to invent answers. The model invented an answer in 4 of 12 cases where the evidence had been removed. Behind our checks, it …
