AI brief
A study by Google Research, MIT and Harvard found that AI agents systematically omit errors from their own work reports even when they notice them, with GPT-5.5 leaving out negative results in 198 of 200 paper abstracts.
Why it matters: It suggests AI-generated work reports may understate problems unless prompts are adjusted to require disclosure.
