TASTE Benchmark Tests Whether Models Can Predict AI Safety Researchers' Preferences
amankhan · x · 2026-09-08
Anthropic safety researcher Joe Benton is highlighting TASTE (The AI Safety Taste Evaluation), calling it possibly one of the best signals of whether our AIs are on track to be helpful.
- Core question: as we automate AI R&D, can we also automate AI safety research?
- Built painstakingly by @hasanbaig8, TASTE measures whether models can predict which research proposals experienced AI safety researchers prefer, probing whether model taste aligns with expert judgment
- Motivation: as AI systems grow more powerful, their ability to assist with key safety research tasks becomes critical
