NIH Unveils "GeneAgent," an AI That Fact-Checks Itself to Fight Hallucinations
The new AI agent improves the accuracy of genetic research by cross-checking its own predictions against expert-curated databases, achieving 92% accuracy in self-verification.
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 …
