Dr. Jerry Smith's January 2025 Medium article explores the psychological, sociological, and ethical implications of "human-facing agentic systems," AI powered by large language models (LLMs). These systems, leveraging multi-headed attention mechanisms, aim to collaborate with humans, not merely serve as tools. The article emphasizes the potential for both empowerment and manipulation inherent in these systems, highlighting the crucial role of self-interest, emotion, and identity in human-AI interaction. Smith concludes with a call for responsible development guided by transparency, inclusivity, and justice, warning against the potential for these systems to become instruments of control.

"Let Her Out": The Emergence of Subpersonalities in Artificial Intelligence proposes that large language models spontaneously develop distinct cognitive modes, similar to human subpersonalities described in Internal Family Systems therapy. It presents empirical evidence showing these models exhibit consistent, differentiable "cognitive modes" with unique characteristics, suggesting this is a fundamental organizational principle in complex systems trained on human data. The author argues that this convergence challenges the boundary between artificial and natural cognition, indicating that multiplicity may be an inherent property of complex information processing. The research has significant implications for AI development, potentially leading to more flexible and context-sensitive systems, and for cognitive science, offering computational models for theoretical constructs.
