Thermodynamic Measure of Intelligence Proposed: Rare-Valid Futures Amplification as Universal Scale
A new theoretical framework proposes intelligence as the lawful amplification of rare but valid futures. The research presents a thermodynamic measure and shows that recursive self-simulation is necessary and nearly sufficient for high thermodynamic intelligence. This makes intelligence measurable on a universal scale.
New Framework Detects and Measures AI Dangers to Democracy Using Principal-Agent Theory
A new research paper by Sandri and Novelli presents an analytical framework to detect and measure the dangers AI poses to democratic processes. The framework applies principal-agent theory and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to identify accountability gaps and governance failures, centering on institutional assessability. The authors highlight that AI exacerbates existing democratic problems rather than creating new ones.
