Import AI 461: 'Alignment Is Not on Track'; FrontierCode; and Synthetic Research Interns
Original: Import AI 461: "Alignment is not on track"; FrontierCode; and synthetic research interns
Jack Clark's AI digest flags stalled alignment progress, a new coding benchmark, and AI agents acting as research interns.
Import AI issue 461 covers three AI developments: a prominent claim that alignment research is falling behind capability advances, a new coding-focused tool or benchmark called FrontierCode, and emerging work on synthetic AI agents performing research-intern-level tasks. The issue's framing question — 'Where are your agents right now?' — reflects growing attention to autonomous AI deployment. Together, the stories illustrate a widening gap between AI capability and safety or governance.
The 461st edition of Import AI, Jack Clark's long-running AI intelligence newsletter, addresses three interconnected themes under the editorial frame 'Where are your agents right now?' — a question that anchors the issue's concern with the current state and trajectory of autonomous AI systems.
