| | | | | This is a review post of public work in AI alignment over 2019, with some inclusions from 2018. It has this preamble (~700 words), a short version / summary (~1.6k words), and a long version (~8.3k words). It is available as a Google Doc here. There are many areas of work that are relevant to AI alignment that I have barely touched on, such as interpretability, uncertainty estimation, adversarial examples, and assured autonomy, primarily because I have not been following these fields and wouldn't be able to write a good summary of what has happened in them. I have also mostly focused on articles that provide some conceptual insight, and excluded or briefly linked to papers that primarily make quantitative improvements on important metrics. While such papers ... | |

| | | | | Paul Christiano and "MIRI" have disagreed on an important research question for a long time: should we focus research on aligning "messy" AGI (e.g. one found through gradient descent or brute force search) with human values, or on developing "principled" AGI (based on theories similar to Bayesian probability theory)? I'm going to present my current model of this disagreement and additional thoughts about it. I put "MIRI" in quotes because MIRI is an organization composed of people who have differing views. I'm going to use the term "MIRI view" to refer to some combination of the views of Eliezer, Benya, and Nate. I think these three researchers have quite similar views, such that it is appropriate in some contexts to attribute a view to all of them collectiv... | |

| | | | | I think Paul Christiano's research agenda for the alignment of superintelligent AGIs presents one of the most exciting and promising approaches to AI safety. After being very confused about Paul's agenda, chatting with others about similar confusions, and clarifying with Paul many times over, I've decided to write a FAQ addressing common confusions around his agenda. This FAQ is not intended to provide an introduction to Paul's agenda, nor is it intended to provide an airtight defense. This FAQ only aims to clarify commonly misunderstood aspects of the agenda. Unless otherwise stated, all views are my own views of Paul's views. (ETA: Paul does not have major disagreements with anything expressed in this FAQ. There are many small points he might have expresse... | |
