AI Experts Push for Monitoring of Reasoning Model Thoughts Why Monitoring AI Model Thoughts Matters in 2025 As artificial intelligence evolves at breakneck speed, a growing number of AI experts are urging the industry to take a closer look at something critical yet overlooked — monitoring AI model thoughts . With powerful reasoning models like OpenAI's o3 and DeepSeek's R1 now driving advanced AI agents, researchers believe that observing their decision-making process through "chains-of-thought" (CoTs) is essential for ensuring transparency and control. But what exactly does monitoring entail, and why does it matter so much now? This blog breaks it down using insights from the latest research paper signed by AI leaders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and more.
