AI, Ethics, and the Value Alignment Problem with Meia Chita-Tegmark and Lucas Perry

What does it mean to create beneficial artificial intelligence? How can we expect to align AIs with human values if humans can’t even agree on what we value? Building safe and beneficial AI involves tricky technical research problems, but it also requires input from philosophers, ethicists, and psychologists on these fundamental questions. How can we ensure the most effective collaboration?

Ariel spoke with FLI’s Meia Chita-Tegmark and Lucas Perry on this month’s podcast about the value alignment problem: the challenge of aligning the goals and actions of AI systems with the goals and intentions of humans.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

-how AGI can inform human values,

-the role of psychology in value alignment,

-how the value alignment problem includes ethics, technical safety research, and international coordination,

-a recent value alignment workshop in Long Beach,

-and the possibility of creating suffering risks (s-risks).
