AIs and Humans with Agency

David Mumford

Abstract

This paper compares agency in humans with potential agency in AI programs. Human agency takes many years to develop, as the frontal lobe is activated. Early attempts to endow LLMs agency have met serious obstacles. Progress requires a new architecture where actions and plans are formulated jointly with the human actors in each real world setting. --- Source: arXiv:2605.02810v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/2605.02810v1 PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.02810v1 Original Link: http://arxiv.org/abs/2605.028...

Description / Details

This paper compares agency in humans with potential agency in AI programs. Human agency takes many years to develop, as the frontal lobe is activated. Early attempts to endow LLMs agency have met serious obstacles. Progress requires a new architecture where actions and plans are formulated jointly with the human actors in each real world setting.
