The thing is, if you answer "I don't know" based on statistics, you end up creating a sliding scale of sorts. You get some measure of an increase in safety, but the model is less useful.
Currently,we have models that make stuff up when they don't know the answer. On the other end, we'd have a model that's refuses to answer any question that's not common knowledge. It'll be safe (though it can never be completely safe), but essentially useless.
I suspect it'll be impossible to make a completely trustworthy and useful model unless it somehow has a concept of it's own knowledge. And can you have a concept of one's knowledge if you lack a concept of self?
