Summary This is a summary of a paper published by the alignment team at UK AISI. Read the full paper here . AI research agents may help solve ASI alignment, for example via the following plan: Build agents that can do empirical alignment work (e.g.~writing code, running experiments, designing evaluations and red teaming) and confirm they are not scheming. [1] Use these agents to build increasingly sophisticated empirical safety cases for each successive generation of agents, gradually automating more of the research process Hand over primary research responsibility once agents outperform humans at all relevant alignment tasks. We argue that automating alignment research in this manner could produce catastrophically misleading safety assessments, causing researchers to believe that an egregiously misaligned AI is safe, even if AI agents are not scheming to deliberately sabotage alignment research. Our core argument (Fig. 1) is as follows: The goal of an automated alignment program is to

NVIDIA has entered into a strategic collaboration with Ineffable Intelligence, the London‑based artificial intelligence lab founded by AlphaGo architect David Silver. The partnership is focused on building the next generation of reinforcement learning (RL) infrastructure, enabling systems that learn continuously from experience rather than relying solely on human‑curated datasets. Jensen Huang, founder and chief executive officer of NVIDIA, described the initiative as a step towards “superlearners: systems that learn continuously from experience". He emphasised that the collaboration will co‑design hardware and software pipelines capable of supporting large‑scale RL workloads, which are fundamentally different from traditional pretraining approaches. Reinforcement learning as the next paradigm Reinforcement learning agents are AI systems that learn by trial and error, converting computation into new knowledge. Silver, a pioneer in the field, explained that while researchers have largel

- Gov.uk chatbot makes government services faster to access
A flagship project that promises to revolutionise the way the public interacts with UK government services is now available. It can only be accessed via the Gov.uk app , however, which means people will need to use a relatively modern iPhone, iPad or Android device. There are also known compatibility issues that may affect users who rely on assistive technology. The artificial intelligence (AI) tool, called Gov.uk Chat, aims to tackle government inefficiency by offering people a chatbot through a dedicated smartphone app, rather than waiting to speak to a call handler. In January, the State of digital government review reported that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) handles approximately 100,000 calls each day, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) processes around 45,000 letters daily, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) still manages more than 500 paper form-based services.

- If an obscure 1980s paradox is any guide, AI may be about to hit a huge tipping point
There’s an old joke among economists that goes like this: “You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” I didn’t say it was a funny joke. But when labor economist Robert Solow originally wrote those words in 1987 , they were certainly true. Personal computers, corporate mainframes, and the first vestiges of the modern internet were all anyone could talk about. Yet productivity wasn’t budging. These whizzy technologies, in short, weren’t earning anyone any money. The phenomenon became known as Solow’s Paradox. Of course, we all know how that story ended. By the mid-1990s, productivity was on a tear, and tech was making lots of people fabulously wealthy. And (despite a subsequent crash and recovery), tech is now the linchpin of the modern economy. Today, AI is following a similar path. And new data suggests that a similarly massive productivity–and wealth–tipping point may be just around the corner. Old paradoxes Since generative AI surged into mainstream
