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…
Eigenism: Ethics for a Human-AI Future
Dan Hendrycks
Our concepts of survival and self-interest were built for single, continuous biological lives. These ideas break down when applied to artificial intelligence, since an AI can be ea…
TLPO: Token-Level Policy Optimization for Mitigating Language Confusion in Large Language Models
Jinho Choo, JunSeung Lee, Jimyeong Kim +3
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong multilingual capabilities, yet often fail to consistently generate responses in the intended language, exhibiting a phenomenon known…
On Safety Risks in Experience-Driven Self-Evolving Agents
Weixiang Zhao, Yichen Zhang, Yingshuo Wang +8
Experience-driven self-evolution has emerged as a promising paradigm for improving the autonomy of large language model agents, yet its reliance on self-curated experience introduc…
Aggressive Compression Enables LLM Weight Theft
Davis Brown, Juan-Pablo Rivera, Dan Hendrycks +1
As frontier AIs become more powerful and costly to develop, adversaries have increasing incentives to steal model weights by mounting exfiltration attacks. In this work, we conside…
Best Practices for Biorisk Evaluations on Open-Weight Bio-Foundation Models
Boyi Wei, Zora Che, Nathaniel Li +10
Open-weight bio-foundation models present a dual-use dilemma. While holding great promise for accelerating scientific research and drug development, they could also enable bad acto…
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…
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…
D-REX: A Benchmark for Detecting Deceptive Reasoning in Large Language Models
Satyapriya Krishna, Andy Zou, Rahul Gupta +6
The safety and alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) are critical for their responsible deployment. Current evaluation methods predominantly focus on identifying and preventing…
TextQuests: How Good are LLMs at Text-Based Video Games?
Long Phan, Mantas Mazeika, Andy Zou +1
Evaluating AI agents within complex, interactive environments that mirror real-world challenges is critical for understanding their practical capabilities. While existing agent ben…
Security Challenges in AI Agent Deployment: Insights from a Large Scale Public Competition
Andy Zou, Maxwell Lin, Eliot Jones +14
Recent advances have enabled LLM-powered AI agents to autonomously execute complex tasks by combining language model reasoning with tools, memory, and web access. But can these sys…
Out-of-Distribution Detection Methods Answer the Wrong Questions
Yucen Lily Li, Daohan Lu, Polina Kirichenko +4
To detect distribution shifts and improve model safety, many out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods rely on the predictive uncertainty or features of supervised models trained…
CoLD: Counterfactually-Guided Length Debiasing for Process Reward Models in Mathematical Reasoning
Congmin Zheng, Jiachen Zhu, Jianghao Lin +6
Process Reward Models (PRMs) play a central role in evaluating and guiding multi-step reasoning in large language models (LLMs), especially for mathematical problem solving. Howeve…
Chain of Thought Monitorability: A New and Fragile Opportunity for AI Safety
Tomek Korbak, Mikita Balesni, Elizabeth Barnes +38
AI systems that "think" in human language offer a unique opportunity for AI safety: we can monitor their chains of thought (CoT) for the intent to misbehave. Like all other known A…
AI Risk-Management Standards Profile for General-Purpose AI (GPAI) and Foundation Models
