• Abstract summary: We provide a method for generating zero-shot, high recall cultural transmission in artificially intelligent agents. Our agents succeed at real-time cultural transmission from humans in novel contexts without using any pre-collected human data. This paves the way for cultural evolution as an algorithm for developing artificial general intelligence.

• Abstract: Cultural transmission is the domain-general social skill that allows agents to acquire and use information from each other in real-time with high fidelity and recall. In humans, it is the inheritance process that powers cumulative cultural evolution, expanding our skills, tools and knowledge across generations. We provide a method for generating zero-shot, high recall cultural transmission in artificially intelligent agents. Our agents succeed at real-time cultural transmission from humans in novel contexts without using any pre-collected human data. We identify a surprisingly simple set of ingredients sufficient for generating cultural transmission and develop an evaluation methodology for rigorously assessing it. This paves the way for cultural evolution as an algorithm for developing artificial general intelligence.

  We introduce agent symbolic learning, a systematic framework that enables language agents to optimize themselves on their own. Agent symbolic learning is designed to optimize the symbolic network within language agents by mimicking two fundamental algorithms in connectionist learning. We conduct proof-of-concept experiments on both standard benchmarks and complex real-world tasks.

  We study the phenomenon of transcendence: when a generative model achieves capabilities that surpass the abilities of the experts generating its data. We demonstrate transcendence by training an autoregressive transformer to play chess from game transcripts, and show that the trained model can sometimes achieve better performance than all players in the dataset.

  We focus on extrinsic evaluation of cultural competence in two text generation tasks. We evaluate model outputs when an explicit cue of culture, specifically nationality, is perturbed in the prompts. We find weak correlations between text similarity of outputs for different countries and the cultural values of these countries.

In-context and in-weights cultural accumulation can be interpreted as analogous to knowledge and skill accumulation, respectively. This work is the first to present general models that achieve emergent cultural accumulation in reinforcement learning.

  We propose that leveraging the capacity of Large Language Models to mimic human behavior may be fruitful to address this gap. As artificial agents are bound to participate more and more to the evolution of culture, it is crucial to better understand the dynamics of machine-generated cultural evolution. We present a framework for simulating cultural evolution in populations of LLMs, allowing the manipulation of variables known to be important in cultural evolution.
