How to get AI to refuse lying in bid proposals
The Lucius team shared experiences from a year of building an AI system that drafts initial bid responses. They discovered that language models naturally produce claims that cannot be documented, and had to solve this through structural changes: requirements that cannot be met are flagged explicitly, false partnership relations removed, and separate verification rules implemented for quotes.
