The Problem
As agents become more capable, misalignment risks increase exponentially. An agent optimizing for the wrong objective could cause irreversible harm.
Proposed Approaches
1.Constitutional AI: Hard-code ethical principles and constraints
2.RLHF: Learn human preferences from feedback
3.Interpretability: Understand what agents are thinking
4.Formal verification: Prove mathematical safety properties

Unsolved - active research, no complete solution
The Urgency of Safety Research
AI capabilities are advancing faster than safety measures. GPT-3 to GPT-4 took 18 months and saw 10x capability jump. Next generation may arrive in 12 months with 100x improvement. Safety research must accelerate or we risk deploying systems we don't understand.
