Why AI must learn to say I don't know | Moriba Jah
AI for Good

AI systems today answer every question, whether the evidence behind them is strong, weak, or missing entirely – a habit that turns dangerous the moment those answers shape decisions about people, policy or the planet. Moriba Jah, Co-founder of GaiaVerse, argues the problem isn't imperfect models, but how that imperfection gets hidden behind fluent, confident language.
He introduces the Theory of Epistemic Abductive Geometry (TEAG), a framework built on falsification and comparison rather than confirmation, letting a system say "I don't know" and then explain what remains standing under scrutiny, aiming for AI outputs that stay traceable and auditable in domains from climate risk to space sustainability.
Recorded live at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland.
