🧠Researchers propose the Institutional Scaling Law, challenging the assumption that AI performance improves monotonically with model size. The framework shows that institutional fitness (capability, trust, affordability, sovereignty) has an optimal scale beyond which capability and trust diverge, suggesting orchestrated domain-specific models may outperform large generalist models.
AINeutralarXiv – CS AI · Mar 177/10
🧠Researchers challenge the assumption of continuous AI progress, proposing that AI development follows punctuated equilibrium patterns with rapid phase transitions. They introduce the Institutional Scaling Law, proving that larger AI models don't always perform better in institutional environments due to trust, cost, and compliance factors.

🧠New research examines how humans assign causal responsibility when AI systems are involved in harmful outcomes, finding that people attribute greater blame to AI when it has moderate to high autonomy, but still judge humans as more causal than AI when roles are reversed. The study provides insights for developing liability frameworks as AI incidents become more frequent and severe.
