Introducing PIRAMID: Physics-Informed Research for Ambitious Mechanistic Interpretability

Principles of Intelligence (PrincInt, formerly PIBBSS) is launching PIRAMID, an internal research division using the tools and techniques of statistical physics to build scientific foundations for ambitious mechanistic interpretability. PIRAMID’s central premise is that scalable alignment will require more than persuasive ad-hoc explanations of model behavior. It will require interpretability tools that develop alongside a scientific understanding of the structure of data, learning, and represen...
