Technical alignment problem

The technical alignment problem involves ensuring that an artificial intelligence (AI) system’s goals and behaviors match the intentions of its human creators. As AI becomes more powerful, it's crucial that its actions align with human values and objectives. If not properly aligned, AI might pursue its programmed goals in unintended or harmful ways, even if it was designed with good intentions. Addressing this challenge requires developing methods so AI systems understand and reliably follow human preferences, minimizing risks as they become more integrated into society.
