A new category of AI systems focused on decision-making and verification is emerging, distinct from generative AI. These systems provide verdicts rather than content, with their evaluation lagging behind their development. Key indicators of this emerging category include significant capital investment, distinct API interfaces, and different failure modes compared to generative models. However, current evaluation metrics are insufficient, as they often overlook crucial aspects like calibration and operational relevance, leading to potentially dangerous overconfidence in AI judgments.
