- Research Sabotage in ML Codebases
One of the main hopes for AI safety is using AIs to automate AI safety research . However, if models are misaligned, then they may sabotage the safety research. For example, misaligned AIs may try to: Perform sloppy research in order to slow down the rate of research progress Make AI systems appear safer than they are Train a successor model to be misaligned Whether we should worry about those things depends substantially on how hard it is to sabotage research in ways that are hard for reviewers to detect. To study this, we introduce Auditing Sabotage Bench, a benchmark of 9 ML research codebases with sabotaged variants. We tested frontier LLMs and LLM-assisted humans on the benchmark and found that neither reliably catches sabotage. Our best auditor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, achieved an AUROC of 0.77 and a top-1 fix rate of 42%. LLM-assisted humans performed comparably but slightly worse. We also found that LLMs can generate sabotages that partially evade same-capability monitors. 📄 Paper 💻

- Samsung Electronics posts historic $38.6B Q1 profit, fueled by AI chip shortage
Samsung Electronics' headquarters in Suwon, Gyeonggi, on April 30 [YONHAP] [NEWS ANALYSIS] Samsung Electronics reported an operating profit of 57.23 trillion won ($38.6 billion) for the first quarter of this year, the highest in the company's history, as a global shortage in memory chips has sent customers racing to secure supplies for their AI data center build-outs. Samsung Electronics' first-quarter operating profit represents a 755.46 percent increase from the same period last year and beat the market consensus of 40.2 trillion won, compiled by FnGuide. Notably, the figure already surpasses the company's entire annual operating profit of 43.6 trillion won in 2025. Its revenue rose 69.26 percent on year to 133.87 trillion won, surpassing analysts' estimates of 119 trillion won, and its net profit climbed 474.31 percent to 47.23 trillion won, above the 35.83 trillion won forecast. Semiconductors were overwhelmingly responsible for the strong performance, contributing nearly 94 percen
