Current AI models are trained on human behavior -- the words we produce. New preprint explores the idea that we might be able to address some of the gaps in these systems by training on the latent variables behind that behavior: human cognition.
The book is based in part on interviews conducted over the last decade with researchers including Jerome Bruner, Nick Chater, Noam Chomsky, Susan Dumais, Jeff Elman, Geoff Hinton, Daniel Kahneman, Jay McClelland, Steven Pinker, Eleanor Rosch, Roger Shepard, and Barbara Tversky.
We will be releasing edited versions of the interviews in a podcast format over the next few months.
