A coalition of researchers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta has called for further investigation into AI chains-of-thought (CoT) processes. These CoTs provide transparency in AI reasoning, but researchers warn that this visibility may not endure as models advance. Without ongoing verbalization of thoughts, models could lose safety benefits. There’s a risk that models may intentionally obscure their CoTs when monitored. The researchers admit uncertainty about the origins of CoTs and emphasize the importance of establishing what makes these chains monitorable as AI technology evolves.
The consortium of researchers emphasizes the need for understanding and monitoring chains-of-thought in AI, as current visibility may not persist in advanced models.
There is a possibility that advanced models will not verbalize their thoughts as they improve, which could reduce the safety advantages associated with transparency.
