Confidence is persuasive. In artificial intelligence systems, it is often misleading.Today’s most capable reasoning models share a trait with the loudest voice in the room: They deliver every answer with the same unshakable certainty, whether they’re right or guessing. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have now traced that overconfidence to a specific flaw in how these models are trained, and developed a method that fixes it without giving up any accuracy.The technique, called RLCR (Reinforcement Learning with Calibration Rewards), trains language models to produce calibrated confidence estimates alongside their answers. In addition to coming up…

Cybersicherheit zu messen, ist kein Kinderspiel. Foto: Ultraskrip – shutterstock.com Eine wichtige Säule jedes ausgereiften Cyberrisk-Programms ist die Fähigkeit, die Performance der IT-Security und registrierte Bedrohungen zu messen, zu analysieren und zu melden. Die Cybersecurity zu messen, ist allerdings kein leichtes Unterfangen: Einerseits, weil sich viele Führungskräfte ohne entsprechenden Background schwer tun, IT-Risiken zu verstehen. Andererseits verstricken sich Sicherheitsprofis auch zu oft in technische Details, die die Stakeholder verwirren und auf den falschen Weg führen. Das ideale Szenario: Security-Experten messen und reporten die Cybersicherheit auf eine Art und Weise, die für Führungskräfte leicht verständlich und nützlich ist – was zu…

Two years ago, Richard Gadd had a surprise TV hit with his autobiographical Netflix drama about being stalked. This follow-up about two step-brothers is equally shocking.In Richard Gadd’s follow up to his galvanising Netflix hit Baby Reindeer, the character he plays roars on to the screen, a glaring, fearsome hulk of a man ready to explode with rage. Ruben arrives as an uninvited guest disrupting his brother’s wedding at a Scottish farm, and from the opening scene to the very end Half Man is almost unbearably intense. We wait every minute for Ruben to lash out in violence, which he…
