Superintelligence alignment and AI Safety

Oct 3, 2023

Recently, the creators of #chatGPT, @OpenAI, published ‘Introducing Superalignment’, beneath the flagship message: “We need scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us.”

Alignment refers to aligning the capabilities and behaviours of artificial intelligence (AI) systems with our own (human) expectations and standards.

“We’re talking about AI systems here, so you need automated alignment systems to keep up – that’s the whole point: automated and fast,” says Advai’s Chief Researcher @Damian Ruck.

This clearly resonates with OpenAI’s own views: “Superintelligence alignment is fundamentally a machine learning problem.”
