Chain-of-thought monitorability could improve generative AI safety by assessing how models come to their conclusions and spotting the "intent to misbehave.”

OpenAI and Google's AI models achieved impressive results in a difficult math competition, but disputed how the other got their score.

Co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016, Neuralink’s ‘patient one,’ Noland Arbaugh, received the first Brain Chip Implant (BCI) in March 2024. A quadriplegic, the now 30-year-old demonstrated his newly acquired ability by moving a cursor to control music and play games via mere thoughts.

CASP, the protein structure prediction contest that launched DeepMind’s Alphafold to international fame and a Nobel Prize, has secured temporary funding to continue operations. The organization’s current funding — from the National Institutes of Health — is set to run out in early August.

Varun Mohan, Windsurf co-founder, faced criticism for joining Google DeepMind. This happened after a $3 billion OpenAI acquisition fell through. The m

The authors express their deepest appreciation to the Google DeepMind Robotics team and in particular David B. D’Ambrosio, Saminda Abeyruwan, Laura Graesser, Atil Iscen, Alex Bewley and Krista Reymann for their invaluable contributions to the development and refinement of this work.

The researchers argue that CoT monitoring can help researchers detect when models begin to exploit flaws in their training, manipulate data, or fall victim to malicious user manipulation. Any issues that are found can then either be “blocked, or replaced with safer actions, or reviewed in more depth.”

After the collapse of OpenAI’s $3B deal with Windsurf, Google DeepMind seizes top talent and licenses key AI coding tools, shaking up the agentic AI landscape.
