Interaction Creates Dynamical AI Behavior Absent in Isolation

Bella Xinrui Li, Frank Yingjie Huo, Neil F Johnson

What will happen when AI agents interact in daily life, e.g. when one AI starts bossing another around? We find a counterintuitive answer that opens new avenues for out-of-equilibr…

Many-body Tipping Dynamics of ChatGPT-like AIs

Frank Yingjie Huo, Neil F. Johnson

Why do ChatGPT-like AIs, despite major architectural and training differences, unexpectedly tip to undesirable content (e.g. harmful, misleading, repetitive) even under determinist…

Fusion-fission forecasts when AI will shift to undesirable behavior

Neil F. Johnson, Frank Yingjie Huo

The key problem facing ChatGPT-like AI's use across society is that its behavior can shift, unnoticed, from desirable to undesirable -- encouraging self-harm, extremist acts, finan…

When AI output tips to bad but nobody notices: Legal implications of AI's mistakes

Dylan J. Restrepo, Nicholas J. Restrepo, Frank Y. Huo +1

The adoption of generative AI across commercial and legal professions offers dramatic efficiency gains -- yet for law in particular, it introduces a perilous failure mode in which…

Competition for attention predicts good-to-bad tipping in AI

Neil F. Johnson, Frank Y. Huo

More than half the global population now carries devices that can run ChatGPT-like language models with no Internet connection and minimal safety oversight -- and hence the potenti…

Multispin Physics of AI Tipping Points and Hallucinations

Neil F. Johnson, Frank Yingjie Huo

Output from generative AI such as ChatGPT, can be repetitive and biased. But more worrying is that this output can mysteriously tip mid-response from good (correct) to bad (mislead…

Jekyll-and-Hyde Tipping Point in an AI's Behavior

Neil F. Johnson, Frank Yingjie Huo

Trust in AI is undermined by the fact that there is no science that predicts -- or that can explain to the public -- when an LLM's output (e.g. ChatGPT) is likely to tip mid-respon…

Capturing AI's Attention: Physics of Repetition, Hallucination, Bias and Beyond

Frank Yingjie Huo, Neil F. Johnson

We derive a first-principles physics theory of the AI engine at the heart of LLMs' 'magic' (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude): the basic Attention head. The theory allows a quantitative analys…
