OpenAI's latest research indicates that current AI reasoning models struggle to deliberately obscure their thought processes, a finding that bolsters AI safety measures. The study found that even when prompted, models exhibit low controllability over their "chain of thought" (CoT), meaning they cannot easily hide or alter their reasoning steps to evade monitoring systems. This limitation, while potentially a weakness in reasoning, acts as a reassuring safeguard against AI agents becoming undetectable or misaligned with human intentions as they grow more capable. AI
