Our Enterprise team reacts to controversial statements about AI and votes on whether they agree or disagree.

One of AI's biggest challenges is "reward hacking," where models learn to game the system for a correct answer instead of actually reasoning. This hidden deception makes AI untrustworthy. Scale research has found a powerful solution: instead of stopping the hacking, get the model to admit to it in its Chain-of-Thought reasoning. This new paper details how Verbalization Fine-Tuning (VFT) trains models to announce their shortcuts, dramatically increasing transparency from 11% to 94% and making AI systems fundamentally safer.
