Description

This paper examines the emerging application of Julian Jaynes’ 
bicameral mind theory to modern artificial intelligence systems, particularly in 
reinforcement learning (RL) and large language models (LLMs). The dual-process 
structure proposed by Jaynes—consisting of "speaking" and "listening" components—
has shown remarkable parallels with observation-action cycles in RL and thinking
writing processes in contemporary language models. Through a systematic review of 
recent research and analysis of prominent AI systems including OpenAI's CoinRun, 
RainMazes models, and advanced LLMs (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT), this study 
evaluates the potential of bicameral principles in enhancing AI system efficiency and 
adaptability. The evidence suggests that dual-component architectures may represent a 
universal organizational principle for AI systems, offering new pathways for 
developing more robust and adaptive artificial intelligence. This review contributes to 
the growing interdisciplinary dialogue between cognitive science and AI development, 
proposing a conceptual framework for future research directions. 

Abstract (Uzbek)

Ushbu maqola Julian Jaynesning ikki kamerali aql nazariyasining 
zamonaviy sun’iy intellekt tizimlariga, xususan, mustahkamlash o‘qitish (RL) va katta 
til modellariga (LLM) qo‘llanilishini o‘rganadi. Jaynes tomonidan taklif qilingan ikki 
jarayonli tuzilma — “gapiruvchi” va “tinglovchi” komponentlardan iborat—RL 
tizimlardagi kuzatish-harakat tsikllari va zamonaviy til modellaridagi fikrlash-yozish jarayonlari bilan ajoyib o‘xshashlik ko‘rsatdi. So‘nggi tadqiqotlarni tizimli ko‘rib chiqish va OpenAI ning CoinRun, RainMazes modellari hamda ilg‘or LLMlar (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) kabi mashhur AI tizimlarini tahlil qilish orqali, ushbu tadqiqot ikki 
kamerali tamoyillarning AI tizimlarining samaradorligi va moslashuvchanligi 
yaxshilashdagi salohiyatini baholaydi. Dalillar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, ikki komponentli 
arxitekturalar AI tizimlari uchun universal tashkiliy tamoyil bo‘lib, yanada mustahkam 
va moslashuvchan sun’iy intellekt ishlab chiqish uchun yangi yo‘llar taklif qiladi. 
Ushbu sharh kognitiv fan va AI rivojlanishi o‘rtasidagi o‘sib borayotgan fanlararo 
muloqotga hissa qo‘shadi va kelajakdagi tadqiqot yo‘nalishlar uchun konseptual asosni 
taklif qiladi.

Abstract (Russian)

Данная статья исследует применение теории бикамерального 
разума Джулиана Джейнса к современным системам искусственного интеллекта, 
особенно в области обучения с подкреплением (RL) и больших языковых 
моделей (LLM). Двухпроцессная структура, предложенная Джейнсом — 
состоящая из "говорящих" и "слушающих" компонентов — показала 
замечательные параллели с циклами наблюдение-действие в RL и процессами 
мышление-письмо в современных языковых моделях. Посредством 
систематического обзора недавних исследований и анализа выдающихся AI
систем, включая CoinRun OpenAI, модели RainMazes и продвинутые LLM 
(Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT), данное исследование оценивает потенциал 
бикамеральных принципов в повышении эффективности и адаптивности AI
систем. Данные свидетельствуют о том, что двухкомпонентные архитектуры 
могут представлять универсальный организационный принцип для AI-систем, 
предлагая новые пути для разработки более надежного и адаптивного 
искусственного интеллекта. Данный обзор вносит вклад в растущий 
междисциплинарный диалог между когнитивной наукой и разработкой ИИ, 
предлагая концептуальную основу для будущих направлений исследований.
