This article explores the concept of process alignment in AI safety, arguing that forecasts about the future of AI are heavily influenced by underlying assumptions about the nature of future agents. It posits that our current methods of societal measurement and prediction are human-centric and may not adequately prepare us for the introduction of new, non-human agents. The author suggests that while predictability is desirable, complex and adaptive systems, like markets or warfare, often defy linear forecasts due to unforeseen discontinuities and 'black swan' events, necessitating a re-evaluation of how we model societal dynamics in the age of advanced AI.
