Researchers at the NIH have developed GeneAgent, an AI agent that combats the problem of "hallucinations" in scientific research. The system improves the accuracy of gene analysis by automatically cross-checking its own predictions against expert-curated databases, achieving 92% accuracy in its self-verifications.

NIH's "GeneAgent" Tackles AI's Biggest Flaw: Hallucination

In a major step toward making AI a more reliable tool for scientific discovery, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on July 28 unveiled GeneAgent, an AI agent that can significantly improve the accuracy of gene set analysis by fact-checking its own work.

The Problem with AI in Science

One of the most critical challenges for AI in scientific research is its tendency to "hallucinate," or generate plausible but incorrect information. This makes it risky to rely on large language models for high-stakes tasks like analyzing the genetic basis …
