We recommend further research into CoT monitorability and investment in CoT monitoring alongside existing safety methods.
Frontier model developers should consider the impact of development decisions on CoT monitorability.
AI systems that "think" in human language offer a unique opportunity for AI safety: we can monitor their chains of thought (CoT) for the intent to misbehave. Like all other known AI oversight methods, CoT monitoring is imperfect and allows some misbehavio
