OpenAI has published research on how to mitigate Goodhart's Law, a phenomenon where a measure becomes a target and ceases to be a good measure. The paper explores mathematical approaches to optimize AI models for complex human preferences, which are difficult to measure directly. OpenAI uses proxy objectives, like a reward model, and investigates techniques such as best-of-sampling to ensure that optimizing the proxy still aligns with the true underlying objective. AI
