AI grading AI: New method ensures accountability through independent verification

A new method proposes using a second AI agent to grade the work of a first AI agent, addressing the self-reporting problem where an AI might inaccurately summarize its own processes. This approach ensures accountability by having Agent B recompute and verify the steps taken by Agent A, using independent receipts and links rather than relying on Agent A's summary. The grading process involves picking up the handover, reading the trail of receipts, recomputing sample steps, deep-diving any disagreements, and issuing a verdict of 'verified,' 'mismatch,' or 'not checked.' This system aims to provide a more reliable and transparent method for evaluating AI performance. AI

IMPACT This method could improve the reliability and transparency of AI evaluations, crucial for developing trustworthy AI systems.
