AI Analysis
For AI researchers, this paper highlights the challenge of endowing LLMs with agency and suggests a collaborative approach, but it is conceptual without concrete results.
The paper compares human agency development with AI agency, noting that LLMs face obstacles in achieving agency and proposing a new architecture for joint human-AI action planning.
This paper compares agency in humans with potential agency in AI programs. Human agency takes many years to develop, as the frontal lobe is activated. Early attempts to endow LLMs agency have met serious obstacles. Progress requires a new architecture where actions and plans are formulated jointly with the human actors in each real world setting.
