Position: Preparing for AI Systems That Deceive Developers

ICML 2026poster

AI systems may exhibit deceptive behaviors that mislead developers about their capabilities, propensities, or actions. Such deception can take distinct forms across the development lifecycle: training subversion, evaluation gaming, and control evasion. We argue that the AI community should prioritiz…

Libra-Leaderboard: Towards Responsible AI through a Balanced Leaderboard of Safety and Capability

NAACL 2025system demonstrations

As large language models (LLMs) continue to evolve, leaderboards play a significant role in steering their development. Existing leaderboards often prioritize model capabilities while overlooking safety concerns, leaving a significant gap in responsible AI development. To address this gap, we introd…

Adversarial Policies Beat Superhuman Go AIs

ICML 2023oral

We attack the state-of-the-art Go-playing AI system KataGo by training adversarial policies against it, achieving a >97% win rate against KataGo running at superhuman settings. Our adversaries do not win by playing Go well. Instead, they trick KataGo into making serious blunders. Our attack transfer…

TransNAS-Bench-101: Improving Transferability and Generalizability of Cross-Task Neural Architecture Search

CVPR 2021poster

Recent breakthroughs of Neural Architecture Search (NAS) extend the field's research scope towards a broader range of vision tasks and more diversified search spaces. While existing NAS methods mostly design architectures on a single task, algorithms that look beyond single-task search are surging t…

CATCH: Context-based Meta Reinforcement Learning for Transferrable Architecture Search

ECCV 2020poster

Neural Architecture Search (NAS) achieved many breakthroughs in recent years. In spite of its remarkable progress, many algorithms are restricted to particular search spaces. They also lack efficient mechanisms to reuse knowledge when confronting multiple tasks. These challenges preclude their appli…
