AI alignment reframed as verification problem, drawing parallels to AV safety

A new series of posts from the CTO of Foretellix proposes reframing AI alignment as a verification problem, drawing parallels to methodologies used in autonomous vehicle safety. The author argues that many AI alignment failures are essentially engineering bugs, where the system executes the given instructions but misses the intended goal due to flawed specifications or training data. While this approach may not solve strategic deception, it aims to clarify behavioral evidence and provide necessary tools for understanding and addressing more complex alignment challenges. AI
