On the creation of narrow AI: hierarchy and nonlocality of neural network skills

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Michaud, Asher Parker-Sartori, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We study the problem of creating strong, yet narrow, AI systems. While recent AI progress has been driven by the training of large general-purpose foundation models, the creation of smaller models specialized for narrow domains could be […]

Shared and distinct cortical mechanisms for working memory and decision-making.

Kavli Affiliate: Daeyeol Lee | Authors: Hyojung Seo, Daeyeol Lee and Shanna K Murray | Summary: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) in the primate brain are critically involved in working memory during tasks that require the retention of information over a delay. These same regions have also been implicated in […]
