Accurate but Not Humble: Evaluating Epistemic Humility in LLM Agents under Knowledge Conflict

The study evaluates how large language model (LLM) agents handle knowledge conflicts by measuring their epistemic humility (EH), which involves recognizing, acting on, and communicating uncertainty. The research introduces three behavioral dimensions—Identify, Solve, and Escalate (ISE)—to assess agents' responses to conflicting information in controlled and real-world scenarios.
