Multimodal large language models converge on the human-like geometry of abstract emotion

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Understanding whether artificial intelligence (AI) systems represent abstract concepts in a human-like manner is pivotal for developing trustworthy AI. While recent work has aligned model representations with human concrete visual object concepts, it remains unclear whether such alignment extends to the subjective and context-dependent domain of emotion. Here, we investigate the emergen...
