David Bau on How—and Whether—Artificial Intelligence Thinks
David Bau is Assistant Professor at Northeastern University and Director of the National Deep Inference Fabric, researching the emergent internal mechanisms of deep generative networks in both Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision.
We Don’t Really Know How A.I. Works. That’s a Problem.
David Bau, who was doing similar work at Northeastern, told me: “I think that people will agree that it’s evidence that the black box is not totally opaque. I think we’ve turned a corner.”

AI researcher David Bau, director of Northeastern University’s National Deep Inference Fabric, a project that aims to help researchers understand how large language models work, said these findings show how AI models could be vulnerable to data poisoning, allowing bad actors to more easily insert malicious traits into the models that they’re training.
