Key Points
- When multiple AIs agree, it doesn't always mean they're correct – they might share the same hidden biases.
- The study distinguishes between normal forecast uncertainty (risk) and whether AI confidence is justified (reliability).
- This matters for real-world decisions like investing, shopping, or health, where trusting unreliable AI could cost you.
Why It Matters
Helps you avoid bad decisions when relying on AI forecasts in business, finance, or daily life.
