Quo vadis, planning?

Behav Brain Sci. 2024 Sep 23:47:e160. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X24000190.

Abstract

Deep meta-learning is the driving force behind advances in contemporary AI research, and a promising theory of flexible cognition in natural intelligence. We agree with Binz et al. that many supposedly "model-based" behaviours may be better explained by meta-learning than by classical models. We argue that this invites us to revisit our neural theories of problem solving and goal-directed planning.
