> Abstract: The rapid integration of agentic AI into high-stakes real-world
> applications requires robust oversight mechanisms. The emerging field of AI
> Control (AIC) aims to provide such an oversight mechanism, but practical
> adoption depends heavily on implementation overhead. To study this problem
> better, we introduce the notion of Control tax -- the operational and
> financial cost of integrating control measures into AI pipelines. Our work
> makes three key contributions to the field of AIC: (1) we introduce a
> theoretical framework that quantifies the Control Tax and maps classifier
> performance to safety assurances; (2) we conduct comprehensive evaluations
> of state-of-the-art language models in adversarial settings, where attacker
> models insert subtle backdoors into code while monitoring models attempt to
> detect these vulnerabilities; and (3) we provide empirical financial cost
> estimates for control protocols and develop optimized monitoring strategies
> that balance safety and cost-effectiveness while accounting for practical
> constraints like auditing budgets. Our framework enables practitioners to
> make informed decisions by systematically connecting safety guarantees with
> their costs, advancing AIC through principled economic feasibility
> assessment across different deployment contexts.
