AI alignment may mirror human development from external to internal controls

This paper explores the concept of endogenous alignment, drawing parallels between human development and potential AI alignment strategies. It posits that humans transition from external "exogenous" alignment methods (rewards and punishments) in childhood to internal "endogenous" alignment in adulthood, driven by emotions like fear, shame, and guilt. The authors question whether AI can achieve a similar form of endogenous alignment, noting that current methods like RLHF and SFT are primarily exogenous, and AI lacks the intrinsic motivations that drive human self-correction.
