Emanuele B. Grifoni speaking at AISC2023, 14 December 2023, Genoa, Italy
Emanuele B. Grifoni will give a talk titled “Judgements, Definitions and Intrinsic Bias in Large Language Models”at the 19th Annual Conference of the Italian Association of Cognitive Sciences (AISC2023). The conference will take place at the University of Genoa, Italy the 14–16 December 2023. The talk will be on the 14th of December 2023, 17.30-17.50.
Abstract of the talk
Through Wittgenstein’s “Investigations” we illustrate an intrinsic bias of Large Language Models (LLMs) at the design level. The current statistical approach cannot account for the normative aspect of rule-following and therefore of communication. This, we believe, is also at the basis of phenomena like “hallucinations” or “confabulations” in LLMs.
