Quantifying the Necessity of Chain of Thought through Opaque Serial Depth
Jonah Brown-Cohen, David Lindner, Rohin Shah
Large language models (LLMs) tend to externalize their reasoning in their chain of thought, making the chain of thought a good target for monitoring. This is partially an inherent…
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…
An Approach to Technical AGI Safety and Security
Rohin Shah, Alex Irpan, Alexander Matt Turner +27
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) promises transformative benefits but also presents significant risks. We develop an approach to address the risk of harms consequential enough…
MONA: Myopic Optimization with Non-myopic Approval Can Mitigate Multi-step Reward Hacking
Sebastian Farquhar, Vikrant Varma, David Lindner +4
Future advanced AI systems may learn sophisticated strategies through reinforcement learning (RL) that humans cannot understand well enough to safely evaluate. We propose a trainin…
On scalable oversight with weak LLMs judging strong LLMs
Zachary Kenton, Noah Y. Siegel, János Kramár +8
Scalable oversight protocols aim to enable humans to accurately supervise superhuman AI. In this paper we study debate, where two AI's compete to convince a judge; consultancy, whe…
Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities
Mary Phuong, Matthew Aitchison, Elliot Catt +24
To understand the risks posed by a new AI system, we must understand what it can and cannot do. Building on prior work, we introduce a programme of new "dangerous capability" evalu…
