Using Debate to Enhance AI Truth-Seeking Abilities

Researchers are exploring the use of debates between large language models (LLMs) to improve the accuracy and trustworthiness of AI systems. This approach involves two AI models debating a question, with a simpler model or human acting as a judge to determine the more accurate answer. Recent studies by Anthropic and Google DeepMind have shown that such debates can help judges, whether human or AI, recognize the truth more effectively. However, challenges remain, including biases in AI judgment and the complexity of tasks requiring nuanced understanding.
