Ais Predictive Power Raises Cognitive Bias Concerns
Research from MIT and Harvard University reveals the limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) in understanding the world.

We must consider the inductive biases inherent in these models and how they shape their understanding, defining the boundaries of their intelligence.
