We present Cogniscope, an open evaluation framework for studying longitudinal early-risk AI systems under controlled behavioral drift, sparse observations, delayed evidence, and heterogeneous progression patterns. Cogniscope combines two…
The robustness of LLMs to jailbreak attacks, where users design prompts to circumvent safety measures and misuse model capabilities, has been studied primarily for LLMs acting as simple chatbots. Meanwhile, LLM agents -- which use external…
AI control protocols use monitors to detect attacks by untrusted AI agents, but standard single-score monitors face two limitations: they miss subtle attacks where outputs look clean but reasoning is off, and they collapse to near-zero…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as simulated participants in social science experiments, but their behavior is often unstable and highly sensitive to design choices. Prior evaluations frequently conflate base-model…
Large language models (LLMs), initially developed for generative AI, are now evolving into agentic AI systems, which make decisions in complex, real-world contexts. Unfortunately, while their generative capabilities are well-documented,…
