How to Make an AI Assistant Say When It Is Unsure

Users may mistake fluent answers for certainty when sources are incomplete or the question lacks enough context.

Checks to make

Set clear evidence thresholds, require source references for factual claims, and allow abstention or clarifying questions. Test ambiguous and unsupported queries, and review whether uncertainty language helps users choose a reliable next step.
