Researchers have developed a method to measure the interventional validity of language models used as simulators for clinical trials. By withholding intervention-identifying fields from models trained on registered trials, they assessed how much accuracy was lost. A gradient-boosting simulator showed negative interventional skill, meaning withholding the intervention improved its performance. In contrast, a frontier language model demonstrated positive interventional skill, though perturbation tests revealed it heavily relied on the intervention details. AI
