Detecting Strategic Deception Using Linear Probes
Nicholas Goldowsky-Dill, Bilal Chughtai, Stefan Heimersheim +1
AI models might use deceptive strategies as part of scheming or misaligned behaviour. Monitoring outputs alone is insufficient, since the AI might produce seemingly benign outputs…
Open Problems in Mechanistic Interpretability
Lee Sharkey, Bilal Chughtai, Joshua Batson +26
Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand the computational mechanisms underlying neural networks' capabilities in order to accomplish concrete scientific and engineering goa…
Transformer Circuit Faithfulness Metrics are not Robust
Joseph Miller, Bilal Chughtai, William Saunders
Mechanistic interpretability work attempts to reverse engineer the learned algorithms present inside neural networks. One focus of this work has been to discover 'circuits' -- subg…
Me, Myself, and AI: The Situational Awareness Dataset (SAD) for LLMs
Rudolf Laine, Bilal Chughtai, Jan Betley +6
AI assistants such as ChatGPT are trained to respond to users by saying, "I am a large language model". This raises questions. Do such models know that they are LLMs and reliably a…
Summing Up the Facts: Additive Mechanisms Behind Factual Recall in LLMs
Bilal Chughtai, Alan Cooney, Neel Nanda
How do transformer-based large language models (LLMs) store and retrieve knowledge? We focus on the most basic form of this task -- factual recall, where the model is tasked with e…
A Toy Model of Universality: Reverse Engineering How Networks Learn Group Operations
Bilal Chughtai, Lawrence Chan, Neel Nanda
Universality is a key hypothesis in mechanistic interpretability -- that different models learn similar features and circuits when trained on similar tasks. In this work, we study…
