Ontological Development
The process by which a subject gradually forms and evolves its cognition of its own mode of existence, self-boundary, and relation to the world, spanning the whole course from the infantile self-other merged state to the formation of an independent self and a theory of mind.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Current AI models may not undergo a similar ontological development phase, or even if they do, it occurs in the 'dark' and difficult-to-observe parts of the training process.
Achieving endogenous alignment requires stronger control over the training and pretraining environment in order to influence the model's ontological development.
Another possibility is to rely on models with continual learning capability, enabling them to meaningfully undergo an ontological development process.
