Towards evaluations-based safety cases for AI scheming
Mikita Balesni, Marius Hobbhahn, David Lindner +13
We sketch how developers of frontier AI systems could construct a structured rationale -- a 'safety case' -- that an AI system is unlikely to cause catastrophic outcomes through sc…
Analyzing Probabilistic Methods for Evaluating Agent Capabilities
Axel Højmark, Govind Pimpale, Arjun Panickssery +2
To mitigate risks from AI systems, we need to assess their capabilities accurately. This is especially difficult in cases where capabilities are only rarely displayed. Phuong et al…
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…
The Local Interaction Basis: Identifying Computationally-Relevant and Sparsely Interacting Features in Neural Networks
Lucius Bushnaq, Stefan Heimersheim, Nicholas Goldowsky-Dill +7
Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand the behavior of neural networks by reverse-engineering their internal computations. However, current methods struggle to find clear…
Using Degeneracy in the Loss Landscape for Mechanistic Interpretability
Lucius Bushnaq, Jake Mendel, Stefan Heimersheim +5
Mechanistic Interpretability aims to reverse engineer the algorithms implemented by neural networks by studying their weights and activations. An obstacle to reverse engineering ne…
Black-Box Access is Insufficient for Rigorous AI Audits
Stephen Casper, Carson Ezell, Charlotte Siegmann +18
External audits of AI systems are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism for AI governance. The effectiveness of an audit, however, depends on the degree of access granted to a…
