I don't see how alignment is a different problem from making an AI do what we want.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoIt's more about the unintended consequences, the implied/contextual information and getting it to do what we want in a way actually fulfills our goals instead of merely satisfying a condition. A task such as "bring me a cup of tea" has lots of implied information such as not making it too hot to burn the person, not breaking anything in the process, not harming other people in the process and so on.
- AgentME 4y agoI think that's a fair way of putting alignment. The concern is that we might make an AI that's capable of outsmarting us before we're good at making it care about doing what we want instead of some other goal that disregards what we really care about like our safety.
