US EditionInner workings of AI an enigma - even to its creators
- Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei emphasized in an April essay that advanced AI technologies have the potential to fundamentally influence the future of humanity, yet much about how they operate remains unclear.
- This lack of understanding results from rapid development, with top AI researchers admitting they cannot fully grasp how generative AI models think or operate internally.
- Studying AI's inner workings, known as mechanistic interpretability, involves analyzing AI calculations during query processing and has grown from a niche to a major academic focus.
- Experts like Neel Nanda compare understanding large language models to understanding the human brain, calling it an ambitious, unprecedented task that could unlock new discoveries.
- Recent advances make Amodei optimistic that by 2027 we could reliably detect AI biases and harmful intentions, enabling safer deployment in sensitive areas such as national security.

AI's Inner Workings Remain A Mystery, Even To Its Makers - Pakistan Live News
Deepseek and OpenAI logos are seen in this illustration taken on January 27, 2025. — Reuters NEW YORK: Even the top minds behind generative artificial intelligence, technology expected to reshape the world, acknowledge that they do not fully grasp how these digital systems think. “People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work,” wrote Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei in …
Would the War Have Ended Sooner if AI Had Existed in 1943?
During the Second World War, the victory was also played on the invisible ground of cryptography. Each message intercepted, each deciphered code could tip the course of operations. At the heart of this shadow war, the Enigma code imposed a titanic challenge on the allies. Designed to produce billions of unique combinations, this machine seemed to make any attempt at vain decryption. And yet, despite its apparent invincibility, the fault existed,…
