This startup ranked AI models. They all landed in the danger zone
About this episode
The episode discusses a study revealing that leading AI models exhibit high confidence but low accuracy, landing them in the 'danger zone'.
India's best AI models are confidently wrong. Not occasionally — structurally. If you put two unrelated ideas into a prompt, the model will usually invent a connection rather than admit that none exists. In this piece, The Ken's Debanjali Biswas traces what a five-month study of leading AI models — from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — actually found about how they reason. The results landed almost every model in what researchers are calling the "danger zone", which shows high confidence and low accuracy. This is a read aloud of Debanjali's original story, by Rachel Varghese, on Daybreak. 📖 Read the full story on The Ken: This startup ranked AI models. They all landed in the danger zone
