Anthropic, Google and OpenAI deploy ‘chains of thought’ to better understand the operations of AI systems
The world’s leading artificial intelligence groups are struggling to force AI models to accurately show how they operate, an issue experts have said will be crucial to keeping the powerful systems in check. Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI are among the tech groups to have developed a technique called “chain of thought” that asks their AI “reasoning” models to solve problems step by step, while showing how it works out the response to a query.
a non-profit research group, pointed to an example of where Anthropic’s chatbot Claude was asked if a particular coding technique would be more “elegant” than others for a given task. The chatbot’s chain-of-thought showed it disagreed, but ultimately answered that the technique would be elegant. A recent OpenAI paper found that looking at a model’s chain-of-thought is also more effective for detecting misbehaviour than just reviewing final outputs.
