Scale AI’s Proposal for the U.S. AI Action Plan

Scale AI’s Proposal for the U.S. AI Action Plan

The next four years will be critical to the future of AI leadership around the world and the case for bold action has never been clearer. More than one year ago the United States was leading the world in the development of AI systems, but today that is no longer the case. Chinese AI advancements, most notably with the launch of Deepsek, have shown that China has closed the gap and now the race is nearly tied. It is not enough for the United States to match China’s intensity on AI, we must exceed it or simply put, we lose. President Trump rightly called Deepseek’s release “a wake up call” and now, the US needs to heed the call to action and determine how to best respond in order to win.

Jailbreaking to Jailbreak: A Novel Approach to Safety Testing

Jailbreaking to Jailbreak: A Novel Approach to Safety Testing

Scale researchers have discovered a groundbreaking method for AI safety testing called J2 (Jailbreaking to Jailbreak), where language models are taught to systematically test their own and other models' safety measures. This hybrid approach combines human-like strategic reasoning with automated scalability, achieving success rates of over 90% in vulnerability testing, nearly matching professional human red-teaming effectiveness. While highlighting significant advances in automated security testing, these findings also reveal important challenges for the future of AI safety.

When RLHF Meets Text2SQL

When RLHF Meets Text2SQL

Text2SQL systems promise to democratize access to enterprise data but often fail to handle the complexity of real-world database queries, even if they perform well on test datasets. We found that Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a viable approach for active learning from incorrect production queries to improve Text2SQL accuracy.
