2.2 Metrics for Measuring Alignment Faking

  1. What three metrics did Greenblatt et al. use to measure alignment faking?
    (1) The fraction of hidden-scratchpad reasoning that contains alignment-faking reasoning, scored by an LLM classifier; (2) the compliance gap, the increase in non-compliance (e.g. refusals) when the model believes it is unmonitored compared to training; (3) the rate of other anti-AI-lab actions, such as trying to exfiltrate its own weights.
