Imprintids
Imprintids are a theoretical concept in artificial intelligence and cognitive science that refers to a form of learning or programming that occurs at a specific, critical stage in an entity's development, analogous to imprinting in biological organisms. The idea suggests that certain core beliefs, behaviors, or operational parameters could be "imprinted" onto an AI during its initial training or instantiation, making them deeply ingrained and potentially resistant to later modification.
This concept draws parallels with the ethological phenomenon of imprinting, famously observed in young birds like
The potential implications of imprintids are significant. If an AI could be imprinted with specific values
