AI INTERPRETABILITY & CONTROL
The Neologism Imperative: Reinventing Language for Smarter AI
This analysis explores the critical challenge of human-AI communication, arguing that our existing vocabulary is insufficient to truly understand and control advanced AI systems. We delve into the necessity of developing new words—neologisms—to bridge the conceptual gap between human cognition and machine intelligence, facilitating more precise control and deeper insight into AI's inner workings.
Executive Impact: Bridging the Human-AI Communication Gap
Our research reveals that a fundamental difference in how humans and machines conceptualize the world leads to communication breakdowns. By adopting a neologism-centric approach, enterprises can unlock new levels of AI control and understanding, transforming AI from a black box into a collaborative partner.

Understanding the Conceptual Divide
Humans and machines conceptualize the world differently, leading to significant mismatches in understanding. This gap inhibits effective communication, turning AI into a "black box" that operates based on alien concepts (M – H).
The challenge isn't just about identifying human-like concepts, but also dealing with inherent biases (anthropomorphism) and finding the right level of abstraction for meaningful interaction – not too detailed, not too high-level.
Existing interpretability methods often fall victim to these challenges, failing to provide the precise, reusable concepts needed for true control and understanding.

The Power of New Language
Neologisms offer a systematic solution to the communication problem by creating new, precisely defined words for concepts unique to AI or for human concepts we wish to instill. This enables concise referencing and meaningful discussion.
Successful neologisms strike a useful level of abstraction, balancing detail and reusability, akin to how natural languages evolve. They integrate into existing language, leveraging compositional structure for greater expressivity.
Crucially, this framing actively combats confirmation bias and anthropomorphism. By giving AI-specific concepts their own names, we acknowledge their distinctness from human concepts, fostering a more accurate and objective understanding.

Experiments in Neologism Embedding Learning
We demonstrate Neologism Embedding Learning, a method to train new word embeddings for AI models without altering core model weights. This allows humans to introduce new concepts or understand machine concepts precisely.
Length Neologism (H → M): A new word, `ensureh`, was trained to reliably control LLM response length. While baseline models struggle, `ensureh` enables consistent generation of responses within specified word counts (e.g., 600-1000 words).
Diversity Neologism (H → M): A `diversen` token significantly increased response variety in a number guessing game, proving effective control over generation strategy. Model's Preferences (M → H): Learning `goodm` revealed the model's internal notion of "good" responses, showing its distinction from human preferences (e.g., refusing unsafe answers).
Case Study: Precise Length Control with Neologisms
The 'Length Neologism' experiment showcases how a new word, ensureh, can empower users to achieve highly specific control over LLM output. Traditional methods often fail to enforce strict length constraints, but by training a dedicated neologism, we enabled the Gemma model to consistently generate responses within a target range (e.g., 600-1000 words), demonstrating a clear path to more reliable AI control. This validates the power of tailored linguistic extensions for fine-grained behavioral steering.
Key Result: 75%+ compliance for specific length constraints, compared to <10% for baseline models.
