Artificial intelligence (AI) has become adept at recognizing images and identifying President-elect Donald Trump, leading to what expert Chris Olah describes as a "Donald Trump neuron. " Olah, who co-founded the AI lab Anthropic—dedicated to ensuring the safety of large models—shared these insights on the "Lex Fridman Podcast" released Monday. Olah referenced well-known studies on specific neurons for known figures, such as the "grandmother neurons" or the "Halle Berry neuron, " and noted similar findings in vision models during his time at OpenAI. In their clip model, he discovered neurons that consistently responded to the same entities, exemplified by what they named the Donald Trump neuron. Trump's prominence in discussions, especially during that period, made it so every neural network they analyzed had a specific neuron for him. Although there were occasional neurons for former Presidents like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, Trump uniquely had a consistently dedicated neuron.
These AI language models responded specifically to "pictures of his face and the word Trump. " Olah appeared alongside Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on the podcast. Fridman mentioned Anthropic's creation, Claude, which he described as "one of the best AI systems in the world" in a post on X. Their discussion with Fridman delved into topics such as "scaling, AI safety, regulation, and many super technical aspects concerning the present and future of AI and humanity, " resulting in what Fridman termed a "fascinating, wide-ranging, technical, and fun conversation.
