Many thanks to @hertiedatascience.bsky.social for the invite, the great discussions, and this blog piece about my talk yesterday!

What happens when AI systems are asked to play social games instead of solving isolated tasks? @elifakata.bsky.social recent talk at the Hertie School explored how LLM reason, coordinate, & sometimes struggle when interacting with humans & other agents. 👉 www.hertie-school.org/en/datascien...

Join us for an insightful discussion with @elifakata.bsky.social, a PhD researcher at @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social. She will discuss her recent paper, “Playing Repeated Games with Large Language Models.” 📅 17 November ⏲️ 2-3 PM CET 📍 @hertieschool.bsky.social 👉 www.hertie-school.org/en/datascien...

Our paper is now out in Nature Human Behaviour! 🎉 We use games from behavioural economics to explore how LLMs behave in repeated social interactions, revealing both self-interested strengths and coordination blind spots, and propose strategies to improve AI-human collaboration.

What happens when Large Language models play repeated economic games? This new study from @elifakata.bsky.social et al investigates across a range of models and games. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 We're hiring! If you're excited about 🤖 ML/LLMs, 🧠 cognitive science, or 💭 computational psychiatry, come join us in Munich. Two fully funded PhDs @www.helmholtz-munich.de: tailored mentorship, international vibe, lots of room to grow. 📅 May 16th 🔗 hcai-munich.com/PhDHCAI.pdf

In previous work we found that VLMs fall short of human visual cognition. To make them better, we fine-tuned them on visual cognition tasks. We find that while this improves performance on the fine-tuning task, it does not lead to models that generalize to other related tasks:

Happy to share that our paper is on the cover of @natmachintell.bsky.social! Working on the cover art was a new and fun challenge www.nature.com/natmachintel...

🚀 Our paper on visual cognition in multimodal large language models is now out in @natmachintell.bsky.social with @lucaschubu.bsky.social, @bethgelab.bsky.social and @ericschulz.bsky.social!

Have we built machines that learn and think like people? In our new paper, we find that vision large language models still fall short when it comes to cognitive abilities in the domains of causal reasoning, intuitive physics, and theory of mind. www.nature.com/articles/s42...
