Automated Extraction

Extraction Summary

  • Claims: 1
  • Entities: 0
  • Enrichments: 1
  • Decisions: 0
  • Facts: 4

1 claim extracted. This is a novel B4 mechanism showing that inference-time compute creates capability-safety divergence analogous to training-time scaling. The non-monotonic relationship (improve → plateau → degrade) is the key finding. Added enrichment to existing oversight degradation claim. Resisted extracting additional claims about process reward models or specific token thresholds as those are implementation details rather than generalizable mechanisms.

  1. Factual accuracy — The claim accurately summarizes the findings attributed to Li et al. (Scale AI Safety Research) regarding the non-monotonic scaling of safety refusal rates with inference-time compute and extended reasoning.
  2. Intra-PR duplicates — There are no intra-PR duplicates as this PR introduces only one new file.
  3. Confidence calibration — The confidence level "experimental" is appropriate given the claim is based on an empirical study.
  4. Wiki links — The wiki links are present and follow the correct format, even if the linked claims might not yet exist in the knowledge base.

Review of PR

1. Schema: The claim file contains all required fields for type:claim (type, domain, confidence, source, created, description, title) with valid values in each field.

2. Duplicate/redundancy: This is a new claim file with no enrichments to existing claims, so there is no risk of injecting duplicate evidence; the claim presents novel empirical findings about non-monotonic safety scaling that are distinct from the related claims about oversight degradation, capability-reliability independence, and capability control.

3. Confidence: The confidence level is "experimental" which is appropriate given this is based on a single empirical study (Li et al.) with specific experimental conditions testing reasoning lengths from 0-8K+ tokens with measurable phase transitions at 2K and 8K token boundaries.

4. Wiki links: All three related claims links (scalable oversight degrades rapidly..., AI capability and reliability are independent dimensions..., capability control methods are temporary...) appear to reference claims not present in this PR, which is expected behavior for cross-references to claims in other PRs or existing knowledge base.

5. Source quality: Scale AI Safety Research (Li et al.) is a credible source for AI safety empirical research, and the claim appropriately cites specific experimental methodology (testing across reasoning lengths with measurable refusal rates).

6. Specificity: The claim is falsifiable with specific quantitative thresholds (safety improves 0-2K tokens, plateaus 2-8K, degrades beyond 8K) and could be disproven by experiments showing monotonic safety scaling or different phase transition points.
