Cutting-edge AI models ‘collapse’ in face of complex problems, Apple study finds
‘Pretty devastating’ paper raises doubts about race to reach stage of AI at which systems match human intelligence Apple researchers have found “fundamental limitations” in cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, in a paper raising doubts about the technology industry’s race to develop ever more powerful systems. Apple claimed in a paper published at the weekend that large reasoning models (LRMs) – an advanced form of AI – faced a “complete accuracy collapse” when presented with highly complex problems.

Great turnout today on @ducu.bsky.social pickets. On strike to protect professional services staff jobs. An attack on one is an attack on all! Management tried to pit academics against professional services staff - they've failed! We are *all* the university!

A SAS experiences a Surprise when it detects that its assumed impacts don't match what's observed during execution. Instead of sticking to outdated assumptions, the system learns and adapts, enabling better-informed decisions and optimal performance—even in the face of unexpected changes. (6/n)

💡 In our paper, "Surprise! Surprise! Learn and Adapt," we keep exploring the relevance of the concept of Surprise in self-adaptive systems. (5/n)

Nelly Bencomo @nellybencomo.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
Self-adaptive systems are designed to make decisions under uncertainty, balancing trade-offs between quality attributes based on the expected impact of their adaptation actions. But here's the twist: what if those assumptions change over time or deviate from reality? (4/n)

Nelly Bencomo @nellybencomo.bsky.social · 16/01/2025
the work was done with my research associate Dylan Walton, and Huma Samin. What happens when a self-adaptive system (SAS) gets surprised because its assumptions about the impact of adaptation actions no longer hold true? (3/n)

If people start using the word AI for everything that is software, then we have a problem ... wait! We have a problem! #AI_alert I understand that people outside CS share the hype, but in CS, I see people renaming everything as AI. It looks so wrong (modules, research lines, etc.). Any thoughts?
