New paper: What happens once AIs make humans obsolete? Even without AIs seeking power, we argue that competitive pressures will fully erode human influence and values. gradual-disempowerment.ai with Jan Kulveit Raymond Douglas Nora Ammann Deger Turan David Krueger 🧵

This is an excellent article! Steering foundation models towards trustworthy behaviors is one of the most important research directions today. Helen is a deep and rigorous thinker, and you should definitely subscribe to her Substack!

CDS Faculty Fellow Tim G. J. Rudner, with Mina Narayanan & Christian Schoeberl, analyzed AI explainability evals, finding a focus on system correctness over real-world effectiveness. They call for investments in the creation of standards for AI safety evaluations. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/pu…

Make sure to get your tickets to #AABI2025 if you are in Singapore on April 29 (just after #ICLR2025) and interested in probabilistic ML, inference, and decision-making! Tickets (free but limited!): lu.ma/5syzr79m More info: approximateinference.org #ProbML #Bayes #UQ

The result in this paper I'm most excited about: We showed that planning in world model latent space allows successful zero-shot generalization to *new* tasks! Project website: latent-planning.github.io Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.14819

Totally agree with Chris here.

CDS Faculty Fellow Tim G. J. Rudner (Tim G. J. Rudner) and colleagues at CSET — Emelia Probasco, Helen Toner, and Matthew Burtell — examine responsible AI deployment in military decision-making. Read our post on their policy brief: nyudatascience.medium.com/ai-in-military…

U of T will be hiring next year. Senior people should reach out in advance.

We REALLY REALLY need a "Findings" for NeurIPS, ICLR, and ICML. 25,000 submissions at this year's NeurIPS represents extreme excess pressure. It takes valuable time away from legitimate new research. One question is how to administer it. I suggest that Findings go through a

We are too at IFM (MBZUAI + LLM360) in support of our open-LLM (and RL *nudge*) efforts! Looking for all levels of Research Engineering and Science Check out our open roles here: jobs.lever.co/ifm-us

💡Funding opportunity—share with your AI research networks💡 Internal deployments of frontier AI models are an underexplored source of risk. My program at CSET just opened a call for research ideas—EOIs due Jun 30. Full details ➡️ cset.georgetown.edu/wp-content/upl… Summary ⬇️

I am pleased to announce a new version of my RL tutorial. Major update to the LLM chapter (eg DPO, GRPO, thinking), minor updates to the MARL and MBRL chapters and various sections (eg offline RL, DPG, etc). Enjoy! arxiv.org/abs/2412.05265
