Ensuring AI Safety despite Collusion

The paper discusses methods to prevent AI catastrophes even in scenarios where AI instances collude to undermine safety measures. It compares its methodology with other safety papers and introduces the concept of AI Control to mitigate risks from deceptive models. The research focuses on enhancing safety techniques as large language models become more potent and independently deployed, emphasizing the need to avert harmful outcomes. The paper stresses the importance of ensuring the effectiveness of safety techniques even if the model deliberately attempts to circumvent them. It introduces and assesses robust pipelines of safety techniques resistant to intentional subversion.
