Comparing Human and AI Agency: A New Architecture Needed
A recent study published on arXiv examines the contrast between human agency and the possible agency of AI systems, suggesting that the development of human agency spans several years as the frontal lobe matures. Initial efforts to grant agency to large language models (LLMs) have faced significant challenges. The authors recommend that advancements in this area necessitate a novel architecture, enabling actions and plans to be created collaboratively with human participants in various real-world contexts. This research falls under the categories of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.
