Can AI “Think About Its Own Thoughts”? Unlocking Introspection in Large Language Models 🤖

Описание: What if artificial intelligence could look inward and recognize its own thoughts? Anthropic’s latest research on “emergent introspective awareness” in large language models explores exactly that.

In this video, we break down Anthropic’s 2025 study revealing that their advanced Claude models, like Opus 4 and 4.1, can sometimes detect and report on their own internal processes. Using a clever “concept injection” method, Anthropic’s team found that these AI systems are beginning to show early signs of introspection, such as:

Sensing when certain “thoughts” or concepts are artificially injected into their neural activity

Identifying and describing those internal concepts (with limited reliability)

Modulating their own mental focus when given specific instructions or incentives

We’ll cover:
• How the researchers tested for introspection
• What “concept injection” is and why it matters
• Real examples of the AI detecting its own thoughts
• The big limitations—like why this isn’t the same as human self-awareness
• What this could mean for AI transparency, safety, and the future of machine consciousness
