Innate biases of newborn animals inspire adaptive decision-making model
Innate biases vary in flexibility and strength. Fixed-action patterns usually have low flexibility and high strength, while early predispositions are weak and plastic. Some innate biases described in the references indicated with specific numbers. Cues position along this spectrum should be interpreted qualitatively. The exact position on the horizontal axis is purely indicative, as predispositions depend on species and context. Credit: Queen Mary Universi

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Keeping up with the latest research is vital for scientists, but given that millions of scientific papers are published every year, that can prove difficult. Artificial intelligence systems show promise for quickly synthesizing seas of information, but they still tend to make things up, or "hallucinate." For instance, when a team led by researchers at the University of Washington and The Allen Institute for AI, or Ai2, stu
