Key threat models include AI systems copying their weights, deploying themselves unmonitored, and sabotaging AI safety research.

In a scenario where an AI model might attempt to copy its weights from a data center to run unmonitored, AI control would involve security measures to prevent such actions, including restricting access to model weights and using other models to monitor behavior.

We have implemented security measures to protect our AI models, but if a state actor is determined enough, they could still succeed in stealing our model weights.

Control measures should treat AI models as potential insider threats, implementing restrictions on access to model weights and algorithmic secrets.

If AI models escape and start creating unmonitored copies, it becomes challenging to control or shut them down.

It's difficult to find interesting and realistic threat models for AI systems that can effectively demonstrate their capabilities.

As AI takes on more coding tasks, maintaining a balance between automation and preserving core engineering skills is essential for the development of effective programmers.

Robust internal security is crucial for AI labs to prevent exploitation and vulnerabilities, especially as AI models begin to write more of their own code.

The complexity of AI systems is increasing, making it essential to understand how behaviors propagate through interconnected models.
