1. Mechanism Design for Alignment and Control

一句话结论

该研究提出一种机制设计框架,用于处理AI代理对齐与能力未知的场景,确保代理诚实且服从。

一段话。
框架基于一维模仿结构(能力可隐藏但不能伪造),导出揭示原理和嵌套循环单调性,用于刻画可实施政策,并应用于沙袋行为、对齐-可解释性权衡、同行评分等五个实际场景,为AI系统对齐提供理论支撑。

摘要 We develop a framework for mechanism design with AI agents whose alignment (preferences) and capabilities (feasible actions and information) are unknown. We want such agents to act on our behalf so mechanisms must incentivize both honesty and obedience. A one-sided imitation structure---capabilities can be concealed but not counterfeited---yields a revelation principle, a characterization of implementable policies via nested cyclical monotonicity, and conditions under which eliciting higher-order beliefs can discipline multiple agents. We apply our framework to stylized examples of (i) sandbagging in which a more capable agent pretends to be less capable; (ii) an alignment--interpretability trade-off, where the two are substitutes in the instrument but complements in value; (iii) discipline via peer scoring; (iv) coupling rewards to induce competition among multiple agents; and (v) scalable oversight and reward shaping.

2. Designing Proactive Thought Partners for Writing

一句话结论

本研究通过实证探索主动式思维伙伴在写作中的设计空间,证实其能提供定制化、非侵入式的高级认知支持,有效提升写作效率。

一段话:实验采用技术探针方法,部署于16名参与者为期一周的测试,结果显示用户通过前瞻性规划配置支持,将建议用于创意生成和自我监控,并偏好轻量级视觉表示与非指令性修辞框架以实现非侵入式干预。

摘要 Writing involves diverse cognitive activities, from ideation to revision, and writers' needs vary across individuals and moments. Proactive AI promises to provide the right support at the right time, yet existing proactive tools largely focus on generic textual assistance, such as autocomplete. This paper studies the design space of proactive thought partners: AI agents that proactively offer customizable, higher-level cognitive support during writing. We instantiated this concept in a technology probe and deployed it with 16 participants for one week. The probe allows users to create partners by configuring their roles and proactivity. As users write, relevant partners take the initiative at appropriate moments to offer suggestions. Our findings show that participants configured proactive support through prospective planning, used suggestions for both idea generation and self-monitoring, and valued lightweight visual representations alongside non-directive rhetorical framing for non-intrusive interventions. We derive implications for designing proactive writing assistants around customization, timing, engagement, and representation.
