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.

There are many small points he might have expresse...

(note: this is not an official MIRI statement, this is a personal statement. I am not speaking for others who have been involved with the agenda.) The AAMLS (Alignment for Advanced Machine Learning Systems) agenda is a project at MIRI that is about determining how to use hypothetical highly advanced machine learning systems safely. I was previously working on problems in this agenda and am currently not. See the paper. The agenda lists 8 theoretical problems relevant to aligning AI systems substantially similar to current machine learning systems.
