Some of these errors come from imperfect learning, but others appear because human-written training text itself repeats misconceptions. The authors call the second kind imitative falsehoods. To measure them, they built TruthfulQA, a zero-shot benchmark of 817… 2. **[How to Catch an AI Liar: Lie Detection in Black-Box LLMs by Asking Unrelated Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pacchiardi-2023-catch-ai-liar-lie-detection/)** *(2023 · 30 citations)* This work addresses detecting when a large language model gives a false answer even though it demonstrably knows the correct one. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[TruthfulQA: Measuring How Models Mimic Human Falsehoods](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lin-2022-truthfulqa-measuring-how-models-mimic/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Stephanie Lin, Jacob Hilton, Owain Evans*2022 · 2,088 citations* 2. **[The Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation ↗](https://doi.org/10.17863/cam.22520) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Miles Brundage et al.*2018 · 866 citations* 3. **[Learning the Preferences of Ignorant, Inconsistent Agents ↗](https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v30i1.10010) Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · no summary yet**Owain Evans, Andreas Stuhlmüller, Noah D.
