An illustration of the control evaluation that provides the core evidence used in our control safety case sketch. During the control evaluation, a red team constructs adversarial substitute models to cause unacceptable outcomes in a deployment proxy consisting of 2,000 AI research tasks, followed by extrapolation to a larger deployment setting.

Abstract. As LLM agents gain a greater capacity to cause harm, AI developers might increasingly rely on control measures such as monitoring to justify that they are safe. We sketch how developers could construct a “control safety case,” which is a structured argument that models are incapable of subverting control measures in order to cause unacceptable outcomes. As a case study, we sketch an argument that a hypothetical LLM agent deployed internally at an AI [...]
