» Hundreds of billions of dollars are riding on the assumption that artificial intelligence will be reliable enough for high-stakes work. New research suggests it may never be. The AI tools that power ChatGPT and its rivals -- known as large language models, or LLMs -- are a genuine productivity-enhancing innovation.
