摘要:

开发安全有用的通用AI系统将要求我们在可扩展的监督方面取得进展:监督系统在与手头任务相关的大多数技能上可能超过我们的问题。对这个问题的实证研究并不简单,因为我们还没有广泛超出我们能力的系统。本文讨论了我们思考这个问题的主要方法之一,重点是如何可以进行实证研究。我们首先提出了一个实验设计,其中心任务是人类专家成功完成的任务,但没有辅助的人类和当前的通用AI系统失败了。然后,我们提出了一个概念验证实验,旨在证明这个实验设计的一个关键特征,并显示其可行性与两个问答任务:MMLU和时间限制的质量。在这些任务中,我们发现,通过聊天与不可靠的大型语言模型对话助手进行交互的人类参与者-可扩展监督的一种微不足道的基线策略-大大超过了模型本身和他们自己的独立表现。这些结果是一个令人鼓舞的迹象,表明可扩展的监督将易于使用现有模型进行研究,并支持最近的发现,即大语言模型可以有效地帮助人类完成困难的任务。

英文摘要:

Developing safe and useful general-purpose AI systems will require us to make progress on scalable oversight: the problem of supervising systems that potentially outperform us on most skills relevant to the task at hand. Empirical work on this problem is not straightforward, since we do not yet have systems that broadly exceed our abilities. This paper discusses one of the major ways we think about this problem, with a focus on ways it can be studied empirically. We first present an experimental design centered on tasks for which human specialists succeed but unaided humans and current general AI systems fail. We then present a proof-of-concept experiment meant to demonstrate a key feature of this experimental design and show its viability with two question-answering tasks: MMLU and time-limited QuALITY. On these tasks, we find that human participants who interact with an unreliable large-language-model dialog assistant through chat -- a trivial baseline strategy for scalable oversight -- substantially outperform both the model alone and their own unaided performance. These results are an encouraging sign that scalable oversight will be tractable to study with present models and bolster recent findings that large language models can productively assist humans with difficult tasks.
