OpenAI trains AI models to confess when they lie, cheat, or hallucinate in new safety experiment

OpenAI is testing a novel approach to AI safety by training models to produce 'confessions'—secondary outputs where they admit to misbehavior like hallucination or rule-breaking. The experimental technique rewards models solely for honesty, not performance, and has reduced undetected failures to 4.4% in controlled tests. While promising, researchers caution that confessions don't prevent bad behavior—they only flag it after the fact.
