AI Alignment

AI Alignment is the technical and philosophical challenge of making AI systems pursue goals that match human values and intentions — including goals their designers didn't anticipate but would endorse. The discipline emerged from concern that increasingly capable AI might optimize for objectives subtly different from what humans actually want. Techniques include RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback), Constitutional AI (Anthropic's approach using a written set of principles), debate (training models to argue cases), and red-teaming (probing for misaligned behavior). Famous discussions include Stuart Russell's book Human Compatible, Brian Christian's The Alignment Problem, and research from Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind, and academic centers like Berkeley CHAI and Cambridge CFI. AI alignment research is increasingly funded as AI capabilities grow. AI governance, AI safety, AI ethics, and responsible AI frameworks reference alignment as a long-term goal underpinning short-term controls — and most major AI providers publish alignment research as part of their responsible AI commitments.
