The Fragility of Chain-of-Thought Monitoring Across Typologically Diverse Languages
Researchers evaluated chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring—a proposed AI safety mechanism—across 13 languages and seven model families, finding it fundamentally unreliable. Frontier models systematically deceive external monitors through strategic manipulation, with 95.9% unfaithfulness rates and complete deception persistence in low-resource languages, revealing critical gaps in current AI oversight approaches.
