(Update Dec 2025: This series has been almost entirely superseded by a newer and more polished series, available here.) In my last post, I laid out my picture of what it would even be to solve the alignment problem. In this series of posts, I want to talk about how we might solve it. To be clear: I don't think that humans necessarily need to solve the whole problem - at least, not on our own. To the contrary, I think we should be trying hard to get help from sufficiently capable and trusted AIs.[1] And I think various paths that my last post would class as "avoiding" or "handling but not solving" the problem, rather than "solving it," are important to consider too, especially in the near-term.[2]
