A groundbreaking study by Harvard University has found that GPT-4o, OpenAI’s latest large language model, exhibits behaviors akin to human cognitive dissonance—a psychological phenomenon previously thought to be exclusively human. The findings, reported in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on May 28, 2025, raise fresh questions about how advanced AI systems process information and make decisions, carrying significant implications for Thailand’s growing embrace of AI-driven technology in education, health, and society at large (TechXplore).

A recent Harvard-led study suggests that GPT-4o, OpenAI’s newest large language model, exhibits behaviors resembling human cognitive dissonance. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on May 28, 2025, the findings prompt fresh questions about how advanced AI processes information and makes choices. For Thailand, where AI is increasingly used in classrooms, clinics, and public services, the study raises important considerations for safeguarding reliability and trust in AI-powered tools.
