Unpredictable AI Reflects The Mysteries Of Human Minds
Our understanding of these systems is so opaque, state-of-the-art AI models are commonly referred to as “black boxes.”
Scientists Reacting To AI Call For The Acceleration Of Consciousness Research
Until recently, consciousness research wasn’t considered a legitimate area of science. This willful blindness has left us ill-prepared for the flood of AI behaviors

His research shows that many of the current claims of emergence appear to be the result of a skewed way of measuring the phenomenon. If this is the case, we could be in a bigger pickle in terms of AI safety and alignment if our detection methods for emergent abilities are flawed.
