This paper introduces a conceptual framework for a self-constructed\u0000lifelong learning environment supported by LLMs. It highlights the inadequacies\u0000of traditional education systems in keeping pace with the rapid deactualization\u0000of knowledge and skills. The proposed framework emphasizes the transformation\u0000from institutionalized education to personalized, self-driven learning. It\u0000leverages the natural language capabilities of LLMs to provide dynamic and\u0000adaptive learning experiences, facilitating the creation of personal\u0000intellectual agents that assist in knowledge acquisition. The framework\u0000integrates principles of lifelong learning, including the necessity of building\u0000personal world models, the dual modes of learning (training and exploration),\u0000and the creation of reusable learning artifacts. Additionally, it underscores\u0000the importance of curiosity-driven learning and reflective practices in\u0000maintaining an effective learning trajectory.

{"title":"Digital Homunculi: Reimagining Democracy Research with Generative Agents","authors":"Petr Specian","doi":"arxiv-2409.00826","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2409.00826","url":null,"abstract":"The pace of technological change continues to outstrip the evolution of\u0000democratic institutions, creating an urgent need for innovative approaches to\u0000democratic reform. However, the experimentation bottleneck - characterized by\u0000slow speed, high costs, limited scalability, and ethical risks - has long\u0000hindered progress in democracy research. This paper proposes a novel solution:\u0000employing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to create synthetic data\u0000through the simulation of digital homunculi, GenAI-powered entities designed to\u0000mimic human behavior in social contexts. By enabling rapid, low-risk\u0000experimentation with alternative institutional designs, this approach could\u0000significantly accelerate democratic innovation. I examine the potential of\u0000GenAI-assisted research to mitigate current limitations in democratic\u0000experimentation, including the ability to simulate large-scale societal\u0000interactions and test complex institutional mechanisms. While acknowledging\u0000potential risks such as algorithmic bias, reproducibility challenges, and AI\u0000alignment issues, I argue that the benefits of synthetic data are likely to\u0000outweigh their drawbacks if implemented with proper caution. To address\u0000existing challenges, I propose a range of technical, methodological, and\u0000institutional adaptations. The paper concludes with a call for\u0000interdisciplinary collaboration in the development and implementation of\u0000GenAI-assisted methods in democracy research, highlighting their potential to\u0000bridge the gap between democratic theory and practice in an era of rapid\u0000technological change.","PeriodicalId":501112,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Computers and Society","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142183900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthetic data has recently gained popularity as\u0000potential solution, but in the flurry of current research it can be hard to\u0000oversee its potential. This paper proposes a novel taxonomy of synthetic data\u0000in healthcare to navigate the landscape in terms of three main varieties. Data\u0000Proportion comprises different ratios of synthetic data in a dataset and\u0000associated pros and cons. Data Modality refers to the different data formats\u0000amenable to synthesis and format-specific challenges. Data Transformation\u0000concerns improving specific aspects of a dataset like its utility or privacy\u0000with synthetic data.

It starts by presenting the main structure, objectives, and\u0000approach of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. A definition of key concepts follows,\u0000and then the material and territorial scope, as well as the timing of\u0000application, are analyzed. Although the Regulation does not explicitly set out\u0000principles, the main ideas of fairness, accountability, transparency, and\u0000equity in AI underly a set of rules of the regulation. This is discussed before\u0000looking at the ill-defined set of forbidden AI practices (manipulation and e\u0000exploitation of vulnerabilities, social scoring, biometric identification and\u0000classification, and predictive policing). It is highlighted that those rules\u0000deal with behaviors rather than AI systems. The qualification and regulation of\u0000high-risk AI systems are tackled, alongside the obligation of transparency for\u0000certain systems, the regulation of general-purpose models, and the rules on\u0000certification, supervision, and sanctions. The text concludes that even if the\u0000overall framework can be deemed adequate and balanced, the approach is so\u0000complex that it risks defeating its own purpose of promoting responsible\u0000innovation within the European Union and beyond its borders.","PeriodicalId":501112,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - CS - Computers and Society","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142183903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
