New @GoogleDeepMind MechInterp work! We introduce Gated SAEs, a Pareto improvement over existing sparse autoencoders. They find equally good reconstructions with around half as many firing features, while maintaining interpretability (CI 0-13% improvement). Joint w/ @ArthurConmy
So excited and so very humbled to be stepping in to head AI Safety and Alignment at @GoogleDeepMind. Lots of work ahead, both for present-day issues and for extreme risks in anticipation of capabilities advancing.

This week, my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. My parents ordered us a very practical, thoughtful gift on Amazon: a crockpot and a crockpot cookbook. We're thrilled. There's just one minor issue: I'm pretty sure the cookbook was written by an AI... 🧵
We're excited to welcome Professor @ancadianadragan from @UCBerkeley as our Head of AI Safety and Alignment to guide how we develop and deploy advanced AI systems responsibly. She explains what her role involves. ↓

very nice to see progress in the SAE space by the team -- getting us just a little bit closer to determining what "concepts" LLMs use!
Fantastic work from @sen_r and @ArthurConmy - done in an impressive 2 week paper sprint! Gated SAEs are a new sparse autoencoder architecture that seem a major Pareto improvement. This is now my team's preferred way to train SAEs, and I hope it'll accelerate the community's work!
Today we're launching PRISM, a new resource to diversify the voices contributing to alignment. We asked 1500 people around the world for their stated preferences over LLM behaviours, then we observed their contextual preferences in 8000 convos with 21 LLMs arxiv.org/abs/2404.16019
It's becoming a challenge to keep up with the outstanding research the @hannahrosekirk – and also, relatedly @sorenmind – are producing these days! People keep asking me what comes after the Advanced AI Assistants paper: The answer is always "reading" 📚📚📚
