Government Office for Science: Future Risks of Frontier AI
Definition and object:
Frontier AI: "highly capable general-purpose AI models that can perform a wide variety of tasks and match or exceed the capabilities present in today’s most advanced models"

(e.g., LLMs, "generative" AI)

A Sunday late apéritif:
Dreyfus and Dreifus (1990). Making a mind versus modelling the brain: Artificial Intelligence back at a branch-point. In M. Boden (Ed). The Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence.

“In the early 1950s, as calculating machines were coming into their own… “At that point two opposed visions of what computers could be, each with its correlated research programme, emerged and struggled for recognition. One faction saw computers as a system for manipulating mental symbols; the other, as a medium for modelling the brain.

It's been a long time since I added to the 'back to the sources (or classics) series'. This is another favourite for you.
A Framework for Misrepresenting Knowledge. H.L. Dreyfus (1979). In M. Ringle (Ed) Philosophical Perspectives in Artificial Intelligence. "... an interesting change has, indeed, taken place at the MIT AI Laboratory. In previous works (Minsky, 1968) Minsky and his co-workers sharply distinguished themselves from workers in cognitive simulation who presented their programs as psychological theories,

This time I am going to excerpt one of my own old papers.
There is much confusion about what constitutes a cognitive computational model and the underlying psychological theory.

We focussed our analysis on conditioning due to the early identification of ANNs and associative learning
The critique, however, can be easily extended to other cognitive phenomena.
