AI

● Researchers at Stanford's Institute for Human-Centred AI have developed AI agents capable of simulating complex human behaviour, opening up new possibilities in psychology and sociology.
● Recent studies have shown that language models such as GPT-4o can exhibit changes in attitude similar to those observed in humans, including behaviours consistent with cognitive dissonance.
● At MIT and the University of Washington, researchers are integrating models of irrational behaviour into AI assistants to improve their ability to interact with humans.
