The MASK Benchmark: Disentangling Honesty From Accuracy in AI Systems
Richard Ren, Arunim Agarwal, Mantas Mazeika +13
As large language models (LLMs) become more capable and agentic, the requirement for trust in their outputs grows significantly, yet at the same time concerns have been mounting th…
A Definition of AGI
Dan Hendrycks, Dawn Song, Christian Szegedy +30
The lack of a concrete definition for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) obscures the gap between today's specialized AI and human-level cognition. This paper introduces a quant…
Remote Labor Index: Measuring AI Automation of Remote Work
Mantas Mazeika, Alice Gatti, Cristina Menghini +44
AIs have made rapid progress on research-oriented benchmarks of knowledge and reasoning, but it remains unclear how these gains translate into economic value and automation. To mea…
Reducing Political Manipulation with Consistency Training
Long Phan, Devin Kim, Alexander Pan +3
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit systematic political bias across a variety of sensitive contexts. We find that LLMs handle counterpart topics from opposing political sides asy…
Humanity's Last Exam
Long Phan, Alice Gatti, Ziwen Han +1144
Benchmarks are important tools for tracking the rapid advancements in large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, benchmarks are not keeping pace in difficulty: LLMs now achi…
Utility Engineering: Analyzing and Controlling Emergent Value Systems in AIs
Mantas Mazeika, Xuwang Yin, Rishub Tamirisa +8
As AIs rapidly advance and become more agentic, the risk they pose is governed not only by their capabilities but increasingly by their propensities, including goals and values. Tr…
Governing Automated Strategic Intelligence
Nicholas Kruus, Madhavendra Thakur, Adam Khoja +24
Military and economic strategic competitiveness between nation-states will increasingly be defined by the capability and cost of their frontier artificial intelligence models. Amon…
EnigmaEval: A Benchmark of Long Multimodal Reasoning Challenges
Clinton J. Wang, Dean Lee, Cristina Menghini +7
As language models master existing reasoning benchmarks, we need new challenges to evaluate their cognitive frontiers. Puzzle-solving events are rich repositories of challenging mu…
Multi-Agent Inverse Q-Learning from Demonstrations
Nathaniel Haynam, Adam Khoja, Dhruv Kumar +2
When reward functions are hand-designed, deep reinforcement learning algorithms often suffer from reward misspecification, causing them to learn suboptimal policies in terms of the…
The WMDP Benchmark: Measuring and Reducing Malicious Use With Unlearning
Nathaniel Li, Alexander Pan, Anjali Gopal +54
The White House Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence highlights the risks of large language models (LLMs) empowering malicious actors in developing biological, cyber, and che…
Safetywashing: Do AI Safety Benchmarks Actually Measure Safety Progress?
Richard Ren, Steven Basart, Adam Khoja +9
As artificial intelligence systems grow more powerful, there has been increasing interest in "AI safety" research to address emerging and future risks. However, the field of AI saf…
