Chain of Thought Monitorability: A New and Fragile Opportunity for AI Safety
AI systems that "think" in human language offer a unique opportunity for AI safety: we can monitor their chains of thought (CoT) for the intent to misbehave. Like all other known AI oversight methods, CoT monitoring is imperfect and allows some misbehavior to go unnoticed. Nevertheless, it shows promise and we recommend further research into CoT monitorability and investment in CoT monitoring alongside existing safety methods. Because CoT monitorability may be fragile, we recommend that frontie…

Execution and monitoring of HOA automata with HOAX
We present a tool called Hoax for the execution of ω-automata expressed in the popular HOA format. The tool leverages the notion of trap sets to enable runtime monitoring of any (non-parity) acceptance condition supported by the format. When the automaton is not monitorable, the tool may still be able to recognise so-called ugly prefixes, and determine that no further observation will ever lead to a conclusive verdict. The tool is open-source and highly configurable. We present its formal foun…

Remote Safety Monitoring: Significance-Aware Status Updating for Situational Awareness
In this study, we consider a problem of remote safety monitoring, where a monitor pulls status updates from multiple sensors monitoring several safety-critical situations. Based on the received updates, multiple estimators determine the current safety-critical situations. Due to transmission errors and limited channel resources, the received status updates may not be fresh, resulting in the possibility of misunderstanding the current safety situation. In particular, if a dangerous situation is …
