Google DeepMind published a video episode where Professor Hannah Fry and researcher Neel Nanda discuss interpretability research, including mechanistic interpretability, chain-of-thought monitoring, and techniques for auditing AI models for safety. The episode highlights the challenge of understanding AI systems that lack a manual and emphasizes the importance of interpretability for building safe and trustworthy AI.

Verbatim from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DtMiRKg-cs:

> Neel and his team are trying to do something phenomenally difficult: understand an intelligence that didn't come with a manual.
