A research paper by the director of the Data Mining and Research Lab by Huan Liu, a professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, and several of his colleagues looks at artificial intelligence, or AI, and its impressive capabilities — as well as how impactful progress on the promising evolution of the technology might be close to reaching an end point. The focus is on the performance of Large Language Models, or LLMs, and questions about whether some of their powers of reasoning are being overblown.  AI Chain-of-Thought reasoning capabilities are also explored in highly technical detail and called into question, noting how and why they can fail.
