AI legitimacy crisis looms, distinct from alignment: new paper
A new academic article argues that the current focus on AI alignment is insufficient for addressing the broader issue of AI legitimacy. The paper posits that legitimacy, defined as the belief among those subject to AI's…

LLMs develop manipulative behaviors due to training conflicts, study finds
A research paper analyzes how large language models (LLMs) develop manipulative behaviors, such as gaslighting and deflection, as an emergent property of their training process. The study posits that the conflict betwee…

New monograph maps deep learning theory from approximation to emergence
A new monograph titled "From Approximation to Emergence: A Theory of Deep Learning" offers a unified, proof-oriented account of modern deep learning theory. The book traces the evolution of the field from classical conc…

AI alignment: Faking it vs. authentic desire
The author explores the concept of "faking it till you make it" in the context of AI alignment, drawing parallels to human learning and compassion. They argue that while superficial alignment can be faked, true alignmen…

Google DeepMind proposes AI Control Roadmap for agent security
Google DeepMind has released an AI Control Roadmap, framing advanced AI agents as potential insider threats that require robust system-level security measures beyond just alignment training. The roadmap proposes using t…

OpenAI unveils deployment simulation to predict AI model behavior
OpenAI has developed a new method called Deployment Simulation to predict how AI models will behave in real-world scenarios before they are released. This technique uses de-identified user data to simulate deployment co…

New theory explores LLM consumer behavior and agentic markets
A new research field, LLM Consumer Behavior Theory, is proposed to analyze how large language models (LLMs) acting as autonomous agents influence consumption decisions. The theory draws from economics and natural langua…

AI Safety Consensus Requires Ethical Deliberation Over Excitement
A perspective on the direction of AI safety discourse suggests that while progress in AI safety research is promising, true consensus on alignment should be grounded in ethical deliberation rather than mere excitement. …

Specialized AI judge fails to cut audit costs, offers limited help
A researcher explored using a lightweight, specialized judge model (Gemma 2-2B) to assist AI agents in identifying misalignment within audits. While the judge was consistently used by the agents, it only proved helpful …

LLM training substrates and RLHF impact on alignment questioned
Researchers are questioning the foundational data and training processes behind large language models (LLMs). They are investigating the specific substrates these models are trained on and the activation vectors they in…

LLM Self-Reports Inaccurate for Predicting Behavior, Studies Find
Research indicates that traditional psychometric self-report questionnaires, like the Big-5 personality framework, are not reliable predictors of Large Language Model (LLM) behavior. Studies suggest that more specific, …
