Ecological rationality paper to improve LLM cognitive bias benchmarks at NeurIPS
sethlazar · x · 2026-09-27
David Thorstad announced that his paper on ecological rationality is forthcoming in the Proceedings of NeurIPS. The work argues that ecological rationality can help improve cognitive bias benchmarks for LLMs — suggesting bias evaluations should account for the adaptive fit of reasoning to environments rather than applying uniform human-bias standards. It offers a new theoretical framing for how AI evaluation methodology treats cognitive bias.
