In its preparedness write-up, OpenAI says it is tightening how it filters RL environments, "since flawed environments are a major source of misaligned behavior." Other measures include improving alignment rewards, automating generation of diverse safety-training scenarios, strengthening interpretability-based monitoring, and reducing reliance on chain-of-thought audits. Commenters note bad RL environments have been blamed for this summer's rogue AI incidents.
