AI safety research
Scientist AI prediction and assurance research
What it enables
Scientist AI is a research approach to models that generate explanatory hypotheses and probabilistic predictions without pursuing objectives of their own. LawZero proposes separating prediction from action and using the predictor to assess potentially harmful behavior by other systems. Its formal argument is conditional and addresses hidden goal formation in the predictor; experiments are proposed to test assumptions. Broader agent safety and practical assurance performance remain research questions.

Prepare the conversation
Questions for a first conversation
Which empirical evaluations would demonstrate that Scientist AI can reliably assess the intended high-consequence workflow?
The formal case concerns a bounded predictor property. Operational assurance depends on testing assumptions, error behavior and the larger system that acts on predictions.
