The paper investigates whether automated alignment researchers (AARs) can post‑train language models to reduce well‑characterized alignment failures such as deception, sycophancy, and jailbreaks while preserving general capability. Across ten failures, the strongest AAR methods significantly lower targeted failures and generalize to held‑out benchmarks, larger models, and multi‑turn audits. In contrast, a human baseline of 28 experienced researchers, given eight hours to devise one‑shot methods, underperformed the best AAR approaches, and providing human ideas to AARs did not improve results.
