A new research paper titled "Calibration-Family Overfit" explores the limitations of AI safety monitors, finding that their effectiveness significantly decreases when applied to AI models from different lineages than those they were trained on. The study demonstrates that monitors calibrated on one family of AI models are less adept at detecting sabotage in others, with a notable performance gap observed in code-based benchmarks. This suggests that current evaluation methods may overstate the general safety provided by these monitors, and a more comprehensive approach involving cross-family transfer matrices is needed to accurately assess their reliability.
