Stress-testing asynchronous monitoring of AI coding agents
Red-blue team adversarial evaluation of asynchronous monitors that must catch a covertly sabotaging AI coding agent before or after its actions take effect.

Red-blue team adversarial evaluation of asynchronous monitors that must catch a covertly sabotaging AI coding agent before or after its actions take effect.
Introduces ControlArena, an open library of shared settings, main and side tasks, and control protocols for making AI control experiments easy, consistent, and repeatable.
Introduces AISI's white box control research, which monitors or steers model internals to detect sandbagging, and reports preliminary progress on that detection.
UK AISI paper on AI control: how control protocols such as monitoring and human approval can constrain scheming LLM agents, and how to scale and evaluate those measures.
