Resolution launches Agent Foundations team for AI safety research

Resolution has established a new Agent Foundations team, comprising researchers like Jeremy Gillen, Abram Demski, and Scott Garrabrant. This team aims to develop new theories for understanding minds, which they believe are crucial for building superintelligent systems that enhance rather than endanger human agency. Their research will focus on areas such as understanding concepts, trust and legitimacy, and improving game theory foundations, with a stated priority on delaying the race toward superintelligence while also contributing to alignment knowledge.
