Bounded Morality: Defining the Space of Moral Computation
Max Kanwal, Caryn Tran, Patrick Mineault
Moral cognition has traditionally been modeled as adherence to fixed ethical theories--deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics--implemented as static rules or value functions.…
Compiling molecular ultrastructure into neural dynamics
Konrad P. Kording, Anton Arkhipov, Davy Deng +22
High-resolution brain imaging can now capture not just synapse locations but their molecular composition, with the cost of such mapping falling exponentially. Yet such ultrastructu…
Cognitive Dark Matter: Measuring What AI Misses
Patrick J. Mineault, Thomas L. Griffiths, Sean Escola
We propose that the jagged intelligence landscape of modern AI systems arises from a missing training signal that we call ``cognitive dark matter'' (CDM): brain functions that mean…
Who Does What in Deep Learning? Multidimensional Game-Theoretic Attribution of Function of Neural Units
Shrey Dixit, Kayson Fakhar, Fatemeh Hadaeghi +3
Neural networks now generate text, images, and speech with billions of parameters, producing a need to know how each neural unit contributes to these high-dimensional outputs. Exis…
NeuroAI for AI Safety
Patrick Mineault, Niccolò Zanichelli, Joanne Zichen Peng +12
As AI systems become increasingly powerful, the need for safe AI has become more pressing. Humans are an attractive model for AI safety: as the only known agents capable of general…
