AI Alignment Problem
As artificial intelligence systems become more capable, ensuring they remain aligned with human values becomes critical. Current alignment techniques do not scale reliably to frontier models.
The Humans
Every person alive. AI systems already make decisions about loans, medical diagnoses, criminal sentencing, and content recommendations. If superintelligent AI is misaligned, the consequences are existential. AI researchers, policymakers, ethicists, and every company deploying AI models needs alignment solutions.
