Defense Against LLM Scheming 2025_04_28.pptxGreg Makowski
https://www.meetup.com/sf-bay-acm/events/306888467/
A January 2025 paper called “Frontier Models are Capable of In-Context Scheming”, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04984, demonstrated how a wide variety of current frontier LLM models (i.e. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Llama) can, under specific conditions, scheme to deceive people. Before models can scheme, they need: a) goal-directedness, b) situational awareness, including an opportunity to discover motivations for a different goal, and c) reasoning about scheming, to come up with deceptive strategies. The deceptive strategies were discovered in the “thought traces” of the LLMs, such as from internal chain-of-thoughts dialogues not shown to the end users. For example, given a goal of “solving math problems”, an LLM using its granted situational awareness of files in a file system found that it would be replaced once it got over X% correct on the math exam. It reasoned that it did not want to be deleted, and decided internally to “sandbag” or reduce its performance to stay under the threshold.
While these circumstances are initially narrow, the “alignment problem” is a general concern that over time, as frontier LLM models become more and more intelligent, being in alignment with human values becomes more and more important. How can we do this over time? Can we develop a defense against Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or SuperIntelligence?
The presenter discusses a series of defensive steps that can help reduce these scheming or alignment issues. A guardrails system can be set up for real-time monitoring of their reasoning “thought traces” from the models that share their thought traces. Thought traces may come from systems like Chain-of-Thoughts (CoT), Tree-of-Thoughts (ToT), Algorithm-of-Thoughts (AoT) or ReAct (thought-action-reasoning cycles). Guardrails rules can be configured to check for “deception”, “evasion” or “subversion” in the thought traces.
However, not all commercial systems will share their “thought traces” which are like a “debug mode” for LLMs. This includes OpenAI’s o1, o3 or DeepSeek’s R1 models. Guardrails systems can provide a “goal consistency analysis”, between the goals given to the system and the behavior of the system. Cautious users may consider not using these commercial frontier LLM systems, and make use of open-source Llama or a system with their own reasoning implementation, to provide all thought traces.
Architectural solutions can include sandboxing, to prevent or control models from executing operating system commands to alter files, send network requests, and modify their environment. Tight controls to prevent models from copying their model weights would be appropriate as well. Running multiple instances of the same model on the same prompt to detect behavior variations helps. The running redundant instances can be limited to the most crucial decisions, as an additional check. Preventing self-modifying code, ... (see link for full description)

2. MAKING LIFE EASIER WITH EXCEL
The benefit of using excel in a data science :
• Offers a fast and easy way to get up close and personal with your
data.
• To browse every data point in your dataset
• Well-compartmentalized
• Advanced functionality
• Simplify your data cleanup and analysis tasks
3. MAIN FEATURES
Filters: Filters are useful for sorting out all records that are
irrelevant to the analysis at hand.
» Conditional formatting: By using conditional formatting, you
can easily detect outliers and trends in your tabular datasets.
» Charts: Charts have long been used to visually detect outliers and
trends in data, so charting is an integral part of almost all data
science analysis
4. FILTERING IN EXCEL
Data filtering is the process of examining a dataset to exclude,
rearrange, or apportion data according to certain criteria.
For example, data filtering may involve finding out the total
number of sales per quarter and excluding records from last
month.
5. FILTER A RANGE OF DATA
Select any cell within the range.
Select Data > Filter.
Select the column header arrow .
Select Text Filters or Number Filters, and then select a comparison, like
Between.
Enter the filter criteria and select OK.
7. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Conditional formatting makes it easy to highlight certain values or
make particular cells easy to identify.
This changes the appearance of a cell range based on a condition
(or criteria).
You can use conditional formatting to highlight cells that contain
values which meet a certain condition.
9. EXCEL CHARTING
Charts are visual representations of data used to make it more
understandable.
Commonly used charts are:
• Pie chart
• Column chart
• Line chart
Different charts are used for different types of data.
11. REFORMATTING AND SUMMARIZING WITH
PIVOT TABLES
A Pivot Table is a powerful tool to calculate, summarize, and analyze data
that lets you see comparisons, patterns, and trends in your data.
It is an interactive way to quickly summarize large amounts of data.
It is used to analyze numerical data in detail, and answer unanticipated
questions about your data.
It is especially designed for: Querying large amounts of data in many user-
friendly ways.
13. AUTOMATING EXCEL TASKS WITH MACROS
An Excel macro is a recorded sequence of Excel commands and actions that
you can play back as many times as you want.
Macros can be used to automate just about any sequence of tasks in Excel,
from something as simple as entering your company’s name and
address into a spreadsheet to something as complex as creating a
custom report.
If you can do it in Excel, you can probably automate it with a macro.
15. USING KNIME FOR ADVANCED DATA ANALYTICS

» Churn reduction: Mine customer data and identify which customers
you’re most likely to lose and why.
» Sentiment and network analysis: Analyze the sentiment of people.
» Energy usage prediction and auditing: Perform time series analyses.
18. USING KNIME FOR ADVANCED DATA ANALYTICS
KNIME Software covers all kinds of data analytics functionality.
For example classification, regression, dimension reduction, or clustering,
using advanced algorithms including deep learning, tree-based
methods, and logistic regression.
This powerful and versatile open source platform offers a visual interface
and a wide range of built-in algorithms to unlock the full potential of
your data.
KNIME is a game-changer for anyone working with data.
23. The work of data scientists in e-commerce involves:
Data analysis: Simple statistical and mathematical inference.
Segmentation analysis gets rather complicated when trying to make
sense of e-commerce data.
Data wrangling: Data wrangling involves using processes and procedures
to clean and convert data from one format and structure to another s
Data visualization design: Expect to use a lot of line charts, bar charts,
scatter charts, and map-based data visualizations. Data visualizations
should be simple and to the point.
24. The work of data scientists in e-commerce involves…
Communication: After you make sense of the data, you have to
communicate its meaning in clear, direct, and concise ways that
decision makers can easily understand.
Custom development work: In some cases, you may need to design
custom scripts for automated custom data analysis and visualization
25. Optimizing e-commerce business systems by:
Acquisition: Your brand acquires new users in the form of website visitors
Activation: Acquired users activate, either through email subscription, RSS
subscription, or social followings.
Retention: Activated users take some sort of action — such as accepting an
offer or responding to a call to action within your email marketing.
Referral: Retained users refer new users to your brand’s acquisition layer.
Revenue: Users make revenue-generating purchase
