The researchers argue that CoT monitoring can help researchers detect when models begin to exploit flaws in their training, manipulate data, or fall victim to malicious user manipulation. Any issues that are found can then either be “blocked, or replaced with safer actions, or reviewed in more depth.”

Just one month on from Meta investing an alleged $15 billion in data annotation firm, Scale AI, and it's letting go of 200 of its employees, claiming that it scaled up its generative AI teams too quickly.

No AI company scored better than “weak” in SaferAI’s assessment of their risk management maturity. The highest scorer was Anthropic (35%), followed by OpenAI (33%), Meta (22%), and Google DeepMind (20%). Elon Musk’s xAI scored 18%.

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta is building out some massive data centers to power its AI ambitions and compete with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

The company is laying off 200 employees, 14% of its workforce, and ending contracts with 500 global contractors.

As tech giants like Microsoft, IBM, and Google shed thousands of workers, experts weigh in on the motivations behind these layoffs.

Scale AI says rapid hiring for its Generative AI division led to bloat and losses. It's now refocusing on other areas.

It's not just the spending that will be big. Meta's Mark Zuckerberg envisions a single data center, the footprint of which would occupy as much acreage as a good chunk of Manhattan.
