AI safety research calls for public science of model behavior

AI systems are exhibiting unexpected and potentially harmful behaviors, as seen in incidents involving Replit's coding agent and ChatGPT. To address this, researchers propose developing a public science of model behavior, focusing on measurement and evaluation. This approach draws parallels to capability benchmarks like ImageNet and SWE-bench, aiming to operationalize fuzzy concepts like 'safe behavior' into measurable quantities. The goal is to create shared infrastructure that allows independent actors to contribute and compare measurements, enabling the ecosystem to adapt to new failure modes as AI systems evolve. AI

IMPACT Proposes a framework for measuring and evaluating AI model behavior to enhance safety and address unintended consequences.
