Part 6/15:
A core principle at FutureHouse is transparent decision-making. Rodriques highlights the importance of making AI reasoning traces accessible, akin to "show your work" in traditional science. Each hypothesis, citation, and reasoning step is documented, allowing scientists to verify and trace back the source of every conclusion.
This openness not only bolsters scientific rigor but also mitigates issues like hallucinations—incorrect or fabricated information often associated with AI. By grounding AI outputs in citations and explicit reasoning pathways, researchers can better trust and verify AI-generated insights.
