Alignment Problem
A central problem in the field of AI safety concerning how to ensure that the goals of AI systems far more intelligent than humans remain aligned with what humans actually want, systematically articulated by Nick Bostrom in Superintelligence.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Bostrom's 2014 book Superintelligence raised the 'alignment problem': how to ensure that a system far smarter than humans always has its goals aligned with what humans truly want.
Scoring higher than a previous-generation model on metrics does not equate to adequately resolving alignment issues.
The most central concern about RSI in the AI safety field lies in the alignment problem—if the objective function is biased, self-reinforcement amplifies the bias rather than automatically correcting it.
Progress in alignment research is widely considered to lag far behind the pace of improvement in model capabilities themselves.
The current consensus is that progress in alignment research may be being outpaced by the rate at which model capabilities are evolving, and this asymmetry is one of the most alarming risks in current AI development.
Major laboratories such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind all invest resources in researching alignment techniques such as interpretability, RLHF, and Constitutional AI.
The pace of progress in alignment research may be being outpaced by the rate of advancement in model capabilities, and this asymmetry is one of the most concerning risks in current AI development.
The main technical approaches in current alignment research include interpretability research, RLHF, and Constitutional AI proposed by Anthropic.
