Researchers are putting AI models to the test to find out whether they can recognize their own internal thoughts.
In one experiment, scientists injected artificial thoughts into language models and observed whether the models could detect these unusual signals within their own processing.
Some models showed an ability to recognize when something unexpected was happening internally. The findings open up fascinating questions about AI self-awareness, but researchers are still investigating whether this ability truly counts as introspection.
