Language Models Can "Take" Each Other's Memories, Study Finds

Researchers have developed a functional model demonstrating how language models can "take" each other's internal states, akin to sharing memories. In this experiment, one language model (the receiver) was linked to another's internal memory, leading it to adopt its partner's assigned rule and code word in a significant majority of cases. This suggests that when internal states are shared, ownership defaults to "mine" unless external grounding is provided, highlighting the need for robust testing of ownership alongside transfer in future interconnected AI systems.

IMPACT This research highlights potential issues with internal state ownership and transfer in interconnected AI systems, suggesting a need for robust testing protocols.

    Mine or Yours? Mind-Bridged Language Models Take Each Other's Memories as Their Own

    arXiv:2610.33020v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: If your brain were connected directly to someone else's, would you still know which thoughts were yours? We build a functional version with two copies of one language model: each holds a private rule and code word, and one copy, t…
