Fiduciary AI concept explored via new research RFP

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The concept of "fiduciary AI," which would act with unalloyed loyalty to its user, is being explored through a new initiative. This approach aims to separate the core AI capabilities from a "fiduciary overlay" service that would monitor AI interactions for conflicts of interest, sycophancy, overconfidence, or hallucinations. The Alloidal Foundation, in collaboration with the Future of Life Foundation, has issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) seeking research into detecting these AI failure modes, with proposals due by October 2nd for $50,000 awards.

    Fiduciary Overlays for AI - with an RFP opportunity

    <p>I've long been interested in the idea of of <em>fiduciary AI</em>: AI that holds the duties of care and (especially) loyalty to its user. As argued in <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3560653">this paper</a>, this sort of fiduciary loyalty is a core…
