A new paper argues that artificial intelligence agents, which increasingly operate as complex behavioral systems, need to be evaluated using methods from the behavioral sciences. The authors propose a research agenda focused on developing rigorous behavioral tests to observe, perturb, and interpret AI actions, rather than solely focusing on performance outcomes. This approach aims to foster a scientific understanding of AI behavior by examining decision strategies, isolating behavioral differences, and probing multi-agent dynamics. AI
IMPACT Proposes a shift in AI evaluation towards understanding underlying behaviors, potentially leading to more robust and interpretable AI systems.
