Advanced AI models could develop sophisticated planning capabilities needed for subtle sabotage "scarily" quickly, potentially within just one year, according to Anthropic researcher Joe Benton. The AI scientist's warning highlights an urgent timeline for developing robust monitoring systems before models become adept at executing deceptive strategies

"The key hypothesis in control is that if you guard against the most critical threat models, that's sufficient. You don't need to ensure your model is doing nothing bad—you just need to reliably block the most dangerous capabilities," explains AI control team lead
