Note Room Change: Appl Math: Melanie Mitchell on "Six Principles For Evaluating Cognitive Capabilities in AI Models" - Reiss Lecture

Title:  Six Principles For Evaluating Cognitive Capabilities in AI Models - Reiss Lecture

Speaker: Melanie Mitchell, Santa Fe Institute

Special Note: The room has been changed from M416 in Tech to ITW in Ford.

Abstract: Modern AI systems have exceeded human performance on many benchmarks meant to evaluate general cognitive capacities. However, it is often the case that benchmark performance does a poor job of predicting general capacities in real-world settings. In this article I describe several issues related to evaluation that can cause this mismatch, and propose six principles, inspired by developmental and comparative psychology, that need to be adopted to enable rigorous evaluation for AI systems. These principles are illustrated by case studies from the psychology and AI literature.
