Minsky's Society of Mind: From Theory to Practice in 2025's AI Revolution

This article explores the resurgence of Marvin Minsky's 'Society of Mind' theory in today's AI landscape. The author recounts their personal journey from initial skepticism to current appreciation of its relevance in large language models and multi-agent systems. It argues that as limitations of monolithic models become apparent, modular, multi-agent approaches are key to building more robust, scalable, and safe AI. Through examples such as Mixture-of-Experts models, HuggingGPT, and AutoGen, the author shows how multi-agent architectures enable modularity, introspection, and alignment, ultimately pointing toward more human-like and reliable AI systems.
