We are excited to announce that Resolution (fka Sequent) has a $160M grant from Coefficient Giving (cG) to put rigorous alignment research on a (closer to) even footing with the frontier labs. We will use it to accelerate progress towards higher-confidence alignment, or to find evidence and obstacles showing why...
TL;DR. * Lie detectors for LLMs could be valuable for auditing and monitoring. * But evaluating them requires testbeds where the model verifiably believes the opposite of what it says, which isn’t straightforward. We determine that most existing trained model organisms don't clear this bar. * We train 13 reasoning...
EDIT: We originally launched under the name Sequent. Read why we renamed to Resolution. Alignment is not on track Artificial superintelligence (ASI) may be developed in the next few years. It is unclear whether alignment is on track to be ready on the same timeframe. At a minimum, the empirical...
Summary This is a summary of a paper published by the alignment team at UK AISI. Read the full paper here. AI research agents may help solve ASI alignment, for example via the following plan: * Build agents that can do empirical alignment work (e.g.~writing code, running experiments, designing evaluations...
Preamble The preamble is less useful for the typical AlignmentForum/LessWrong reader, who may want to skip to Adversaria vs Basinland section. On 28th of October 2025, Geoffrey Irving, Chief Scientist of the UK AI Security Institute, gave a keynote talk (slides) at the Alignment Conference. The conference was organised by...
The Alignment Project is a global fund of over £15 million, dedicated to accelerating progress in AI control and alignment research. It is backed by an international coalition of governments, industry, venture capital and philanthropic funders. This post is part of a sequence on research areas that we are excited...
