A proposal introduces "monitorability" as a property to track, arguing that architectures with opaque recurrence or latent-based agent communication could rapidly erode the ability to observe AI reasoning chains.
Architectural choices that improve performance may simultaneously make AI systems harder to inspect and audit. If monitorability degrades faster than expected, safety and debugging efforts could be working blind.

Architectures incorporating opaque recurrence or latent-based agent communication could rapidly reduce monitorability of AI systems.
The proposal frames monitorability as a distinct property worth tracking alongside capability and performance.
Companies exploring such architectures may face growing difficulty observing chains of thought or inter-agent communication.
