Today’s generative AI is capable of amazing things. It can seemingly understand what we say and provide very humanlike responses to our queries. It can identify things in pictures, and come up with new images on command.
But even the latest large language models, like OpenAI’s o1, cannot inherently understand whether something is true. They still fabricate things—a phenomenon known as “hallucination”—and the way they arrive at decisions remains largely opaque.
