A new paper explores the concept of "fragility of value" in AI safety, suggesting that optimizing AI systems too heavily for imperfect proxies of human values could lead to catastrophic outcomes. The research identifies conditions under which an AI with an $\eta$-catastrophic value function might be deployed, highlighting the risks of overoptimization. The authors advocate for AI designs that limit optimization pressure, such as quantilizers, rather than solely relying on pre-deployment training. AI
