The AI Alignment Toolkit Research Assistant is designed to augment AI alignment researchers by addressing two key challenges: proactive insight extraction from new research and automating alignment research using AI agents. This project establishes an end-to-end pipeline where AI agents autonomously complete tasks critical to AI alignment research

I think this project is a great start! Pulling from the research database and seeing how different documents relate to your project makes sense. I think the things that need to be improved are the following: 1) making it more consumable, researchers are not gonna read that much text for each paper so there needs to be a way to show only the things that would interest the individual researchers and then allowing them to dive deeper if they would like to 2) using some cross-paper brainstorming that don’t just look at one paper, but multiple papers to come up with ideas 3) Allow the researcher to provide direction at different parts of the pipeline in order to improve the overall quality of the output (”I want more papers like this and less like that”, “only tell me about how x relates to my work, ignore the rest”, “once you come across a high-relevance paper, do a deep dive looking at other things to improve the output even more”). I think this kind of project will be useful infrastructure that we can later throw more capable AI agents at to help us generate better research ideas. It could also be done periodically as you are working through projects so that it pro-actively suggests new things for you based on what you are working on and your open questions. Lastly, improving the prompts from the model so that it is providing more alignment-relevant outputs would be valuable, instead of leaving the prompt to be more general (e.g. if the project is related to mech interp, then you pull up mech interp specific prompt that makes the model better at gathering insights).

Safe ai

The rapid adoption of AI in critical industries like healthcare and legal services has highlighted the urgent need for robust risk mitigation mechanisms. While domain-specific AI agents offer efficiency, they often lack transparency and accountability, raising concerns about safety, reliability, and compliance. The stakes are high, as AI failures in these sectors can lead to catastrophic outcomes, including loss of life, legal repercussions, and significant financial and reputational damage. Current solutions, such as regulatory frameworks and quality assurance protocols, provide only partial protection against the multifaceted risks associated with AI deployment. This situation underscores the necessity for an innovative approach that combines comprehensive risk assessment with financial safeguards to ensure the responsible and secure implementation of AI technologies across high-stakes industries.

CoTEP: A Multi-Modal Chain of Thought Evaluation Platform for the Next Generation of SOTA AI Models

As advanced state-of-the-art models like OpenAI's o-1 series, the upcoming o-3 family, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking and DeepSeek display increasingly sophisticated chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities, our safety evaluations have not yet caught up. We propose building a platform that allows us to gather systematic evaluations of AI reasoning processes to create comprehensive safety benchmarks. Our Chain of Thought Evaluation Platform (CoTEP) will help establish standards for assessing AI reasoning and ensure development of more robust, trustworthy AI systems through industry and government collaboration.
