• Abstract: The way we're thinking about generative AI right now is fundamentally individual. We see this not just in how users interact with models but also in how models are built, how they're benchmarked, and how commercial and research strategies using AI are defined. We argue that we should abandon this approach if we're hoping for AI to support groundbreaking innovation and scientific discovery. Drawing on research and formal results in complex systems, organizational behavior, and philosophy of science, we show why we should expect deep intellectual breakthroughs to come from epistemically diverse groups of AI agents working together rather than singular superintelligent agents. Having a diverse team broadens the search for solutions, delays premature consensus, and allows for the pursuit of unconventional approaches. Developing diverse AI teams also addresses AI critics' concerns that current models are constrained by past data and lack the creative insight required for innovation. The upshot, we argue, is that the future of transformative transformer-based AI is fundamentally many, not one.

  Large language models (LLMs) are regarded as potential sparks for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) We start by tracing the concept of agents from its philosophical origins to its development in AI, and explain why LLMs are suitable foundations for agents. We explore the extensive applications of LLM-based agents in three aspects: single-agent scenarios, multi-agent scenarios, and human-agent cooperation.

  We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time. We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

  In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society. A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests. This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
