Research Published 7 October 2022 Authors Rohin Shah, Victoria Krakovna, Vikrant Varma, Zachary Kenton Exploring examples of goal misgeneralisation – where an AI system’s capabilities generalise but its goal doesn’t As we build increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, we want to make sure they don’t pursue undesired goals. Such behaviour in an AI agent …

Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a cornerstone of cybersecurity. From malware detection to network traffic analysis, predictive machine learning models and other narrow AI applications have been used in cybersecurity for decades. As we move closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI’s potential to automate defenses and fix vulnerabilities becomes even more powerful. But …

We’re exploring the frontiers of AGI, prioritizing readiness, proactive risk assessment, and collaboration with the wider AI community. Artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI that’s at least as capable as humans at most cognitive tasks, could be here within the coming years. Integrated with agentic capabilities, AGI could supercharge AI to understand, reason, plan, and execute …

models continue to increase in scope and accuracy, even tasks once dominated by traditional algorithms are gradually being replaced by Deep Learning models. Algorithmic pipelines — workflows that take an input, process it through a series of algorithms, and produce an output — increasingly rely on one or more AI-based components. These AI models often …
