    The case for auditable AI reasoning beyond longer chains of thought

    A former Google DeepMind employee argues that LLMs typically lack inspectable records of what they know and what remains uncertain.

    TLDR

    An author who says he recently left Google DeepMind argues that AlphaGo’s ability to search possible futures offers lessons for AI reasoning. He says LLMs typically lack explicit, inspectable records of knowledge, uncertainty and supporting evidence, and that longer chains of thought are not the same as genuine reasoning. He calls for auditable evidence, inference and belief revision to support trustworthy new insights.

    @ThoreGTen years ago, AlphaGo’s Move 37 shocked the world. It wasn’t intuition alone that produced it. AlphaGo could search possible futures, test its instincts and reason about what would happen next. In a new piece for @techreview, I argue that today’s most advanced AI systems are still missing something fundamental. LLMs are remarkably capable, but generating longer chains of thought is not the same as genuine reasoning. They typically have no explicit, inspectable record of what they know, what remains uncertain, what evidence supports a conclusion or whether genuine progress has been made. This is why I recently left @GoogleDeepMind. I believe we need a fresh approach to machine reasoning, drawing on some of the architectural lessons from AlphaGo. If AI is going to produce trustworthy and genuinely novel insights in science, medicine and beyond, we need systems whose conclusions arise from an auditable process of evidence, inference and belief revision.1h
