Quick Info

Prerequisite: a written standard. The monthly random sample of 50 to 100 outputs is graded against that standard.

Purpose and usage

This page provides short, extractable answers for the topic above.

Key points

  • At which step does the written standard play a role?: In the grading step, the written standard is the basis for checking the monthly random sample of 50 to 100 outputs.
  • What sample size is used to measure internal AI accuracy?: 50 to 100 outputs per month. The sample is random and graded against a written standard.
  • What can be concluded if 100 checked outputs show zero errors?: A true error rate of about 3% still remains possible at 95% confidence. Zero observed errors does not reduce the upper bound to 0%.
