Top AI Researchers Concerned They’re Losing the Ability to Understand What They’ve Created
Researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta have joined forces to warn about what they're building. In a new position paper, 40 researchers spread across those four companies called for more investigation of AI powered by so-called "chains-of-thought" (CoT), the "thinking out loud" process that advanced "reasoning" models — the current vanguard of consumer-facing AI — use when they're working through a query. As those researchers acknowledge, CoTs add a certain transparency into the inn
