A preprint from Yale NLP presents the first comprehensive survey of metacognition in large language models, covering how LLMs can exhibit or be endowed with self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-regulation abilities. The paper taxonomizes the field, reviews benchmarks and evaluation methods, and surveys techniques to elicit and improve metacognitive capabilities. The authors argue metacognition is increasingly recognized as central to capable, transparent, and reliable AI systems, and identify open challenges and future directions.
