AI alignment is neither solvable nor sufficient, argues new paper

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper argues that AI alignment, the goal of ensuring AI systems act according to human values, is a misguided endeavor. The authors contend that alignment is not well-defined due to the instability of human values, is not solvable in practice, and even if solvable, would not necessarily prevent harm. They propose that AI safety should be viewed as an ongoing challenge rather than a problem with a one-time solution, emphasizing the risks posed by complex human-machine societies. AI

IMPACT Challenges the fundamental assumptions of AI alignment research, suggesting a shift towards continuous safety management rather than a singular solution.
