Excess Description Length of Learning Generalizable Predictors
Elizabeth Donoway, Hailey Joren, Fabien Roger +1
Understanding whether fine-tuning elicits latent capabilities or teaches new ones is a fundamental question for language model evaluation and safety. We develop a formal informatio…
Inoculation Prompting: Instructing LLMs to misbehave at train-time improves test-time alignment
Nevan Wichers, Aram Ebtekar, Ariana Azarbal +8
Large language models are sometimes trained with imperfect oversight signals, leading to undesired behaviors such as reward hacking and sycophancy. Improving oversight quality can…
All Code, No Thought: Current Language Models Struggle to Reason in Ciphered Language
Shiyuan Guo, Henry Sleight, Fabien Roger
Detecting harmful AI actions is important as AI agents gain adoption. Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring is one method widely used to detect adversarial attacks and AI misalignment.…
Reasoning Models Don't Always Say What They Think
Yanda Chen, Joe Benton, Ansh Radhakrishnan +12
Chain-of-thought (CoT) offers a potential boon for AI safety as it allows monitoring a model's CoT to try to understand its intentions and reasoning processes. However, the effecti…
Auditing language models for hidden objectives
Samuel Marks, Johannes Treutlein, Trenton Bricken +32
We study the feasibility of conducting alignment audits: investigations into whether models have undesired objectives. As a testbed, we train a language model with a hidden objecti…
A Frontier AI Risk Management Framework: Bridging the Gap Between Current AI Practices and Established Risk Management
Simeon Campos, Henry Papadatos, Fabien Roger +3
The recent development of powerful AI systems has highlighted the need for robust risk management frameworks in the AI industry. Although companies have begun to implement safety f…
