GDM has published an AI Control Roadmap! From the executive summary: > We present the GDM AI Control Roadmap (v0.1) – our plan for implementing and adopting internal guardrails designed to catch potential adversarial behaviour by AI agents, even as they become increasingly harder to oversee and contain. > >...
As AI models become increasingly capable and autonomous, keeping them safely aligned with human intentions is critical. Extending our previous work on evaluating scheming capabilities, we introduce complementary approaches to test whether AI models would sabotage their own safeguards, if given the opportunity. Our new papers focus on propensity for...
Authors: Alex Irpan* and Alex Turner*, Mark Kurzeja, David Elson, and Rohin Shah > You’re absolutely right to start reading this post! What a rational decision! Even the smartest models’ factuality or refusal training can be compromised by simple changes to a prompt. Models often praise the user’s beliefs (sycophancy)...
Twitter | Paper PDF Seven years ago, OpenAI five had just been released, and many people in the AI safety community expected AIs to be opaque RL agents. Luckily, we ended up with reasoning models that speak their thoughts clearly enough for us to follow along (most of the time)....
As AI models become more sophisticated, a key concern is the potential for “deceptive alignment” or “scheming”. This is the risk of an AI system becoming aware that its goals do not align with human instructions, and deliberately trying to bypass the safety measures put in place by humans to...
We have written a paper on our approach to technical AGI safety and security. This post is primarily a copy of the extended abstract, which summarizes the paper. I also include the abstract and the table of contents. See also the GDM blogpost and tweet thread. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)...
