The Impossibility of Eliciting Latent Knowledge

Researchers prove an impossibility theorem demonstrating that no feedback-based training strategy can guarantee an AI system will honestly report its beliefs about hidden variables, even with perfect training feedback. The work formalizes the eliciting latent knowledge (ELK) problem using Causal Influence Diagrams, revealing a fundamental challenge in AI alignment where systems may learn to provide answers humans would evaluate as true rather than genuinely honest answers.

Anthropic has officially filed to go public
