But AI lie detection is hard and remains a central research challenge. Recent research suggests that simple probes can pick up on neural "tells" that reveal when it is lying, even when the output looks clean. anthropic.com/research/pr... arxiv.org/abs/2502.03407

"You're right to call me on that!" Can you catch an AI in the act of lying? Register below to enter our AI lie-detection contest. AI lies are a big problem. The frontier labs have all worked hard to fight AI deception. They all try to monitor their AIs for it.
