When people on Earth don’t understand something, they create new disciplines. A lot of what we don’t understand comes from emergent behaviors, that is, the whole is drastically different than the building blocks. We may know the blocks reasonably well, but not the complex things built with them. For example, economics is a field to help understand the collective outcomes of a lot of interacting people. With ChatGPT and other large language models started showing abilities that we don’t quite know how to explain, other than they have emerged from the tools we (thought we) know, maybe it’s the time to have new fields? What about splitting the AI research field to “AI Neuroscience” and “AI Psychology”?
