Evaluating Risks in Weak-to-Strong Alignment: A Bias-Variance Perspective

arXiv:2604. 25077v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Weak-to-strong alignment offers a promising route to scalable supervision, but it can fail when a strong model becomes confidently wrong on examples that lie in the weak model's blind spots.

Alignment Risks from Capability-Seeking RL Training

arXiv:2602. 12124v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While most AI alignment research focuses on preventing models from generating explicitly harmful content, a more subtle risk arises from capability-seeking RL training in vulnerable environments.
