Technical AI safety

Technical AI safety refers to the research and practices aimed at ensuring artificial intelligence (AI) systems operate safely and as intended. It involves designing AI in ways that prevent unintended consequences, misunderstandings in tasks, and harmful behaviors. This includes creating robust algorithms, testing for reliability, and embedding ethical guidelines. The goal is to allow AI to benefit society while minimizing risks, particularly as AI systems become more advanced and autonomous. Decisions made by AI should align with human values and priorities, ensuring that technology enhances rather than threatens our lives.
