We (along with researchers from Berkeley and Stanford) are co-authors on today’s paper led by Google Brain researchers, Concrete Problems in AI Safety. The paper explores many research problems around ensuring that modern machine learning systems operate as intended.
We’ve written a paper arguing that long-term AI safety research needs social scientists to ensure AI alignment algorithms succeed when actual humans are involved. Properly aligning advanced AI systems with human values requires resolving many uncertainties related to the psychology of human rationality, emotion, and biases.

Ensuring that AI systems are built, deployed, and used safely is critical to our mission.
OpenAI introduces CoT-Control and finds reasoning models struggle to control their chains of thought, reinforcing monitorability as an AI safety safeguard.
