Summary
Training AI models with other AI models has become a very popular goal for neolabs — and now, a researcher in Anthropic’s fellows program has given us an early look at what it might look like in practice. On Friday, Anthropic published a new paper titled “ Automated Researchers Can Reliably Mitigate Alignment Failures,” detailing how AI systems could reliably improve a model’s performance on a set of alignment benchmarks. When given 10 benchmarks for specific misaligned behaviors, the automated systems were able to improve performance on every single one without degrading overall performance. Led by Anthropic fellow Chen Yueh-Han, the system replicates much of the traditional approach to research.
