借鉴神经科学,让AI具备动作、结构化生成和记忆能力以实现更安全可解释的类人智能。

Lessons from Neuroscience for AI: How integrating Actions, Compositional Structure and Episodic Memory could enable Safe, Interpretable and Human-Like AI

  • 将动作、层次化结构与情景记忆融入基础模型,构建类脑生成架构。
  • 可缓解幻觉、缺乏理解深度及控制感等问题,提升可信度与能效。
  • 适合关注可解释性、安全性与类人智能的AI研究者与开发者。

近年来大语言模型等基础模型的突破主要依赖于大规模Transformer模型在最小化下一个词预测损失这一简单目标上的优化,这与神经科学中日益流行的预测编码理论一致。然而,当前基础模型忽略了预测编码模型中的三个关键成分:动作与生成模型的紧密整合、层级化组合结构以及情景记忆。本文提出,为实现安全、可解释、节能且类人的AI,基础模型应整合多尺度的动作、组合式生成架构与情景记忆。我们综述了神经科学与认知科学中关于这些组件重要性的最新证据,并说明引入这些成分有助于解决当前模型的若干缺陷:因缺乏具身性而产生的幻觉与概念理解浅显、因缺少控制权导致的责任感缺失、因不可解释性引发的安全与信任风险,以及能源效率低下。本文还将该设想与当前趋势(如链式思维推理与检索增强生成)进行对比,探讨如何通过脑启发机制增强模型。最后强调,重拾脑科学与人工智能之间的历史互动,将推动迈向安全、可解释的人本智能之路。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The phenomenal advances in large language models (LLMs) and other foundation models over the past few years have been based on optimizing large-scale transformer models on the surprisingly simple objective of minimizing next-token prediction loss, a form of predictive coding that is also the backbone of an increasingly popular model of brain function in neuroscience and cognitive science. However, current foundation models ignore three other important components of state-of-the-art predictive coding models: tight integration of actions with generative models, hierarchical compositional structure, and episodic memory. We propose that to achieve safe, interpretable, energy-efficient, and human-like AI, foundation models should integrate actions, at multiple scales of abstraction, with a compositional generative architecture and episodic memory. We present recent evidence from neuroscience and cognitive science on the importance of each of these components. We describe how the addition of these missing components to foundation models could help address some of their current deficiencies: hallucinations and superficial understanding of concepts due to lack of grounding, a missing sense of agency/responsibility due to lack of control, threats to safety and trustworthiness due to lack of interpretability, and energy inefficiency. We compare our proposal to current trends, such as adding chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to foundation models, and discuss new ways of augmenting these models with brain-inspired components. We conclude by arguing that a rekindling of the historically fruitful exchange of ideas between brain science and AI will help pave the way towards safe and interpretable human-centered AI.
