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.

Dr. Smith's article introduces the "principle of least Cognitive Action," arguing that all minds, biological or artificial, inherently seek the most efficient pathways for thinking. This principle explains phenomena like expertise and the effectiveness of certain learning methods. The author draws parallels between human and artificial intelligence, particularly attention mechanisms, but highlights crucial differences in their evolutionary constraints. Smith contends that understanding this principle is vital for education, technology, and preserving human autonomy in an AI-driven world, as both minds optimize cognitive resource allocation. The piece suggests a unified view of intelligence across disciplines, where efficiency governs both physical and cognitive systems. Ultimately, the article posits that true freedom lies in recognizing and working with these inherent cognitive limitations to navigate an increasingly complex information landscape.
