Ep10 Anthropic Safety Recommendation: Control and Oversight

Continuing Anthropic's AI safety research directions, Alex and Thuy explore how to deploy potentially misaligned systems safely and how to oversee systems that might be smarter than human evaluators.

Topics Covered

• AI Control: behavioral monitoring, activation monitoring, anomaly detection
• Defense in depth strategies
• Scalable Oversight: task decomposition and adversarial debate
• Weak-to-strong generalization
• Detecting honesty in AI systems
• The challenge of overseeing superintelligent systems
