Sakana AI · 39

The Royal Society has published a special issue on world models in natural and artificial intelligence, tying the concept to AI capabilities and limits. The issue appears in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, a journal first launched in 1665. The focus shifts toward explaining why language-pattern learning may not equal causal understanding and toward studying self-state prediction and AI approaches closer to artificial life.
