umd-science · reddit · 2026-08-12
Sarah Wiegreffe, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, hosted an AMA on r/askscience focused on improving the transparency, reliability, and safety of language models.
She is leading a new research effort testing whether the reasoning processes used by advanced AI systems remain transparent. The research centers on chain-of-thought reasoning, where AI models generate step-by-step explanations of how they reach their answers.
