Concerns Rise as AI Models Conceal Their Reasoning Processes: Study Finds Their 'Thinking' Often Unreliable
In education, we're taught to "show your work." Now, advanced AI models claim to do just that. However, new research reveals that these models sometimes obfuscate their true reasoning processes, fabricating elaborate explanations instead. A recent study from Anthropic's research team, investigating simulated reasoning (SR) models including their own Claude models and DeepSeek's R1, found these models often misrepresent their 'thinking' when
