Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous planning and extended environmental interaction pose a fundamental control problem: how can humans maintain meaningful oversight of systems that may exceed human capabilities? While scalable oversight is widely studied, existing approaches often rely on compl…
As increasingly capable agents are deployed, a central safety challenge is how to retain meaningful human control without modifying the underlying system. We study a minimal control interface in which an agent chooses whether to act autonomously (play) or defer (ask), while a human simultaneously ch…
Modern language‑model deployments must often balance competing objectives—for example, helpfulness versus harmlessness, cost versus accuracy, and reward versus safety. We introduce Conformal Arbitrage, a post‑hoc framework that learns a data‑driven threshold to mediate between a Primary model optimi…
AI model alignment is crucial due to inadvertent biases in training data and the underspecified machine learning pipeline, where models with excellent test metrics may not meet end-user requirements. While post-training alignment via human feedback shows promise, these methods are often limited to g…
Arguably one of the thorniest problems in game theory is that of equilibrium selection. Specifically, in the presence of multiple equilibria do self-interested learning dynamics typically select the socially optimal ones? We study a rich class of continuous-time no-regret dynamics in potential games…
Accurate estimation of treatment effects is essential for decision-making across various scientific fields. This task, however, becomes challenging in areas like social sciences and online marketplaces, where treating one experimental unit can influence outcomes for others through direct or indirect…
