Researchers are proposing a new approach to AI alignment called "value generalisation," which aims to create AIs that can reliably extend human values and preferences to novel situations. This capability is seen as a critical missing piece in current AI systems, which often fail when encountering scenarios outside their training data. The proposed method involves binding an AI's moral concepts to empirical concepts, allowing its morality to grow and adapt alongside its capabilities, potentially enabling "pre-aligned" AIs that are inherently more trustworthy and controllable.
