A new approach to AI safety research, termed "structural proxies," is proposed as a way to study future AI alignment problems. This method involves identifying current, naturally occurring AI issues that share structural similarities with anticipated future challenges. By analyzing these proxies, researchers aim to gain insights into the dynamics that will shape advanced AI systems, even without direct access to superhuman AI. AI
IMPACT This approach could provide a more grounded method for studying AI safety challenges, potentially leading to more effective alignment strategies.
