Think Fast: Estimating No-CoT Task-Completion Time Horizons of Frontier AI Models
Dewi Gould, Francis Rhys Ward, Anders Cairns Woodruff +18
Many efforts to ensure frontier AI models are safe rely on monitoring their chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning. If models become able to perform sufficiently complex reasoning intern…
Natural Emergent Misalignment from Reward Hacking in Production RL
Monte MacDiarmid, Benjamin Wright, Jonathan Uesato +19
We show that when large language models learn to reward hack on production RL environments, this can result in egregious emergent misalignment. We start with a pretrained model, im…
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…
Alignment faking in large language models
Ryan Greenblatt, Carson Denison, Benjamin Wright +17
We present a demonstration of a large language model engaging in alignment faking: selectively complying with its training objective in training to prevent modification of its beha…
