AWS is taking on AI hallucinations

Amazon Web Services announced Automated Reasoning checks — a new tool to combat hallucinations in AI.

(Sounds groundbreaking, right? But hold on.)

AWS calls it the “first” and “only” safeguard for hallucinations. Yet, Microsoft’s Correction feature and Google’s Vertex AI have been tackling this problem for months. :eyes:

Still, there’s value here. Automated Reasoning checks works by cross-referencing customer-supplied data to verify model outputs.

It’s part of Bedrock, AWS’ model hosting service, and already attracting major clients like PwC.

Why does this matter? :brain:

Generative AI doesn’t “know” facts. It predicts them, which means hallucinations are inevitable. AWS claims its tool uses “logically accurate reasoning,” but so far, no data to back it up.

Also announced: Model Distillation and Multi-Agent Collaboration. Both aim to make AI tools more efficient and versatile for businesses.

But let’s be real: eliminating hallucinations from AI? That’s like trying to remove hydrogen from water :slight_smile:

What do you think? Can AI hallucinations ever be fully “fixed”?
