In Episode #47, host John Sherman talks with Buck Shlegeris, CEO of Redwood Research, a non-profit company working on technical AI risk challenges. The discussion includes Buck’s thoughts on the new OpenAI o1-preview model, but centers on two questions: is there a way to control AI models before alignment is achieved if it can be, and how would the system that’s supposed to save the world actually work if an AI lab found a model scheming. Check out these links to Buck’s writing on these topics below:
