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.
Anthropic announced the formation of an Economic Advisory Council comprising ten distinguished economists from institutions including MIT, University of Chicago, Harvard, LSE, and Yale. The council will advise on AI's impact on labor markets, economic growth, and socioeconomic systems, informing the research agenda for Anthropic's Economic Index initiative. The move signals Anthropic's intent to build credible, policy-relevant research infrastructure around AI's economic effects, targeting policymakers and business leaders as an audience.
