The "Confident Idiot" Problem: Intelligence vs. Control (2021-2026)

Green Line (Capability): MMLU State-of-the-Art (48% → 94%).

Red Line (Control): Organizations with effective mitigation for inaccuracy/hallucination (lagging at ~52%).

Sources:

MMLU: Official Repository (hendrycks/test) and Model Technical Reports.

Risk: McKinsey “State of AI” Annual Reports (2023–2025).

The Gap: Intelligence is surging. Control is lagging. We are currently in the gap (High capability, low trust).

How are you solving the gap?

Potential Solution: Move verification outside the model using deterministic “Reality Locks” (Regex, SQL AST, Entropy)
