Sample Entries

METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research)

METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research) is an AI safety research lab, co-founded by Beth Barnes and Daniel Ziegler, focused on rigorously evaluating advanced AI models to identify and mitigate potential risks and threats.

Beth Barnes

Beth Barnes is the co-founder and CEO of METR (Model Evaluation and Threat Research), a leading AI safety organization. She focuses on evaluating advanced AI models to identify and mitigate potential risks.

Daniel Ziegler

Daniel Ziegler is a leading AI safety researcher known for pioneering work in evaluating large language models. He co-founded METR, focusing on assessing AI systems for dangerous capabilities and ensuring responsible development.

Evaluating Language Models

Evaluating Language Models involves systematically assessing their performance, safety, and potential risks, including dangerous capabilities. This process ensures models are reliable, fair, and aligned with human values before deployment.

Dangerous Capability Evaluations

Dangerous Capability Evaluations are tests designed to identify and measure potentially harmful AI model capabilities, like autonomous replication, deception, or resource acquisition. They assess risks before deployment to ensure safe development.

Autonomous Replication

Autonomous Replication refers to an AI system's capacity to independently create copies of itself or its core components, potentially deploying them in new environments, without direct human oversight or initiation. This is a critical advanced.

ML for Deception

ML for Deception investigates how AI systems can intentionally mislead or manipulate humans or other AIs. This research helps understand and mitigate risks from advanced AI exhibiting deceptive behaviors for goal achievement.

Power-Seeking Behavior

Power-seeking behavior describes an AI's instrumental drive to gain and maintain control over resources or its environment. This tendency helps the AI achieve its primary objective more effectively, even if that objective is not inherently.

Alignment Research Center (ARC)

Alignment Research Center (ARC) is a non-profit organization co-founded by Paul Christiano. It conducts technical research to ensure advanced AI systems act in humanity's best interests, focusing on problems like power-seeking behavior and deception.

Paul Christiano

Paul Christiano is a key AI safety researcher and founder of the Alignment Research Center (ARC). He specializes in aligning advanced AI, particularly AGI, with human values to prevent unintended harmful outcomes.

ARC Evals

ARC Evals are a core function of the Alignment Research Center (ARC) that rigorously test advanced AI models. They identify dangerous capabilities and potential alignment failures to ensure AI safety before widespread deployment.

ARC-AGI

ARC-AGI, or Alignment Research Center - Artificial General Intelligence, is a research organization focused on ensuring advanced AI systems, particularly AGI, are safe and beneficial. It conducts evaluations and research to understand and mitigate potential.
