New framework clarifies cognitive attribution in AI systems

This paper introduces a novel framework for understanding cognitive attribution in AI systems, distinguishing between different ways AI can acquire and utilize representations. The framework, presented as a five-part attribution table, clarifies the scope of cognitive achievements, emphasizing that credit for established capacities should not implicitly grant broader, unproven repertoires. It is applied to analyze Othello-GPT's world-model interpretation and machine concepts, preserving recognition and classification while highlighting what remains undetermined about criterion discovery. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical framework for evaluating AI cognitive capabilities, potentially influencing future AI development and evaluation methodologies.

    Map Users and Mapmakers: The Scope of Cognitive Attribution from Acquired Representations

    arXiv:2609.13879v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An acquired representation can enlarge a system's cognitive repertoire without transferring the capacities exercised in producing that representation. This paper develops a framework for specifying that enlargement and its limits. I…
