Rohin Shah, head of AGI Safety and Alignment at Google DeepMind, believes catastrophic AI misalignment is plausible but not likely to occur by default. He argues that current AI training methods, focused on short-term rewards, do not naturally lead to the long-horizon goals required for world takeover. Shah suggests that many potential alignment issues will be visible in advance, allowing for iterative solutions, and that the focus should shift from pre-deployment evaluations to practical research and AI governance infrastructure.
