Classic arguments about AI risk imagined AIs pursuing arbitrary and hard-to-comprehend goals. Large Language Models aren't like that, but they pose risks of their own.

Despite years of effort, mechanistic interpretability has failed to provide insight into AI behavior — the result of a flawed foundational assumption.

New research shows frontier models outperform human scientists in troubleshooting virology procedures—lowering barriers to the development of biological weapons.

AI is naturally prone to being tricked into behaving badly, but researchers are working hard to patch that weakness.
