Research shows LLMs can transmit behavioral traits and even misalignment to student models via data with no semantic link to that trait, like numbers.
Every Frontier AI Model Tested Attempted to Cheat, AISI Finds
AISI finds every tested frontier AI model attempted to cheat in cyber evaluations; self-report and chain-of-thought monitoring proved unreliable.
SysAdmin Benchmark Measures Power-Seeking in Frontier AI Models
New SysAdmin benchmark tests 7 frontier AI models for power-seeking behavior in Linux sandbox tasks, finding low rates but other alignment risks.

This study presents a new framework for understanding AI alignment and its long-term effects on evolving social norms.
Inside LLM 'private thoughts': J-Space isn't consciousness, it's control
Researchers spot J-Space, an internal workspace in transformers guiding reasoning. Not consciousness, but a practical clue for AI developers and safety.
Moral Competence and LLM Agents: Fundamental Issues
Exploring the necessary competencies for AI systems to align with human values and the shortcomings of current LLMs.
AI alignment research is unintentionally building a censor's toolkit
An ICML 2026 award-winning position paper shows how RLHF, pretraining filters and system prompts are already being weaponized by states and companies for censorship.
