AI Catastrophe Prevention Techniques

The podcast discusses various AI control techniques outlined in the paper, 'AI Control, Improving Safety Despite Intentional Subversion.' These techniques aim to prevent AI catastrophes even if the AI instances collaborate to subvert safety measures. One highlighted protocol, trusted editing, involves GPT-4 writing code and GPT-3.5 reviewing suspiciousness levels before submission. Additionally, the untrusted monitoring protocol uses GPT-4 to write code, with another GPT-4 instance monitoring for backdoors, enhancing safety substantially beyond basic baselines.
