How do you supervise an AI system that is more capable than its overseer? This is the question this article sets to answer.
It brings together two somewhat different approaches: scalable oversight and weak-to-strong generalization. The article then shows how a unified solution would work under different assumptions (with or without scheming).
Overall, the solution seems quite promising. In the future, I’d like the unified solution to be (empirically) tested and separately compared with just scalable oversight or just weak-to-strong generalization to prove its increased effectiveness.
