Bayesian Intelligence from the Outside

Quick summary

arXiv:2609.14724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inferring intelligence from observable behavior is a foundational challenge in artificial intelligence. We develop a theory of Bayesian intelligence for agents such as language models. Each prompt induces a possibly imperfect internal experiment; the agent updates a full-support prior by Bayes' rule and faithfully reports its posterior over the possible answers to the question. Repetitions draw fresh, independent outcomes from the same unobserved experiment at one fixed state. We show that the agent's behavior admits this explanation if and only
