Truthfulness
Noun · AI & Machine Learning
Definitions
The tendency of an AI system to provide answers that are factually correct and not misleading, rather than merely plausible-sounding. Truthfulness is distinct from fluency because an answer can read well while still being wrong.
In plain English: How reliably the AI tells the truth instead of making things up.
Example: "They treated truthfulness as a core launch metric because polished but false legal summaries were unacceptable."
