Judge-dependent safety gains and model-specific helpfulness costs of evidence-sufficiency prompting in clinical LLMs

- What happened
- A prompt technique reduced unsafe overconfidence in clinical AI models from 49% to 25%, but the safety gain heavily depends on which AI evaluates the results.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building clinical AI systems need to know that safety metrics from AI judges may not reflect real behavior change and require human validation.
- Watch out
- The measured safety improvement vanished by half when a different AI judge scored the same answers, and helpfulness dropped severely for some models but not others.
