• Abstract summary: Large language models (LLMs) have transformed the landscape of artificial intelligence by demonstrating their ability in generating human-like text. However, they often employ imprecise language, which can be detrimental in domains where accuracy is crucial, such as climate change. In this study, we make use of recent ideas to harness the potential of LLMs by viewing them as agents that access multiple sources. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through a prototype agent that retrieves emission data from ClimateWatch.

• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have significantly transformed the landscape of artificial intelligence by demonstrating their ability in generating human-like text across diverse topics. However, despite their impressive capabilities, LLMs lack recent information and often employ imprecise language, which can be detrimental in domains where accuracy is crucial, such as climate change. In this study, we make use of recent ideas to harness the potential of LLMs by viewing them as agents that access multiple sources, including databases containing recent and precise information about organizations, institutions, and companies. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through a prototype agent that retrieves emission data from ClimateWatch (https://www.climatewatchdata.org/) and leverages general Google search. By integrating these resources with LLMs, our approach overcomes the limitations associated with imprecise language and delivers more reliable and accurate information in the critical domain of climate change. This work paves the way for future advancements in LLMs and their application in domains where precision is of paramount importance.

  We focus on journalistic interviews, a domain rich in grounding communication and abundant in data. We curate a dataset of 40,000 two-person informational interviews from NPR and CNN. LLMs are significantly less likely than human interviewers to use acknowledgements and to pivot to higher-level questions.

  We introduce the Expert Confidence in Climate Statements (ClimateX) dataset, a novel, curated, expert-labeled dataset consisting of 8094 climate statements. Using this dataset, we show that recent Large Language Models (LLMs) can classify human expert confidence in climate-related statements. Overall, models exhibit consistent and significant over-confidence on low and medium confidence statements.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have come to encourage the adoption of LLMs as scientific models of language. We identify the most important theoretical and empirical risks brought about by the adoption of scientific models that lack transparency. We conclude that, at their current stage of development, LLMs hardly offer any explanations for language.

By deviating from natural language, CIPHER offers an advantage of encoding a broader spectrum of information without any modification to the model weights. This showcases the superiority and robustness of embeddings as an alternative "language" for communication among LLMs.
