What Capable Agents Must Know: Selection Theorems for Robust Decision-Making under Uncertainty

Researchers prove 'selection theorems' showing that AI agents achieving low regret on prediction tasks must develop internal predictive models and belief states. The work demonstrates that structured internal representations are mathematically necessary, not just helpful, for competent decision-making under uncertainty.

A Decision-Theoretic Formalisation of Steganography With Applications to LLM Monitoring

Researchers have developed a new decision-theoretic framework to detect steganographic capabilities in large language models, which could help identify when AI systems are hiding information to evade oversight. The method introduces 'generalized V-information' and a 'steganographic gap' measure to quantify hidden communication without requiring reference distributions.
