Alignment Problem

A Maximally Curious AI Would Not Be Safe For Humanity while I don’t think so

Alignment must occur faster than the model's capabilities grow. Also, Aligned doesn’t mean perfect (Controllability, reliability). We will need another neural network to observe and interpret the internal workings of neural networks.

AI Alignment is Alignment between taught behaviors and actual behaviors. AI is aligned with an operator - AI is trying to do what operator wants to do.

What is AI alignment

What is it to solve the alignment problem? — LessWrong

People often talk about “solving the alignment problem.” But what is it to do such a thing? I wrote up some rough notes.

As model develop potential dangerous behaviors, can we develop and evaluate methods to monitor and regulate AI systems, ensuring they adhere to desired behaviors while minimally undermining their efficiency or performance?
