AI errno(2) values
A new set of AI-specific error codes has been introduced to address common failures in artificial intelligence systems. These codes include various humorous and serious categories, such as hallucinations and ethical issues. The initiative aims to improve the understanding and management of AI errors in development and deployment.
- ▪The new error codes are defined in a header file for AI systems.
- ▪Examples of error codes include EAI for hallucination and ECLAW for unrecoverable system compromise.
- ▪The introduction of these codes is intended to enhance error handling in AI applications.
