Geoffrey’s thread gives a great overview of how our safety case carves up the alignment via debate agenda into modular, parallelizable subproblems!

I recently realized that 2027 is in less than 2 years. Largest timeline update I've had in a while.

Humans are often very wrong. This is a big problem if you want to use human judgment to oversee super-smart AI systems. In our new post, Geoffrey Irving argues that we might be able to deal with this issue – not by fixing the humans, but by redesigning oversight protocols.

Padding a transformer’s input with blank tokens (...) is a simple form of test-time compute. Can it increase the computational power of LLMs? 👀 New work with Ashish Sabharwal addresses this with *exact characterizations* of the expressive power of transformers with padding 🧵

Come work with me!! I'm hiring a research manager for AI Security Institute's Alignment Team. You'll manage exceptional researchers tackling one of humanity’s biggest challenges. Our mission: ensure we have ways to make superhuman AI safe before it poses critical risks. 1/4

New alignment theory paper! We present a new scalable oversight protocol (prover-estimator debate) and a proof that honesty is incentivised at equilibrium (with large assumptions, see 🧵), even when the AIs involved have similar available compute.
