The alignment literature

Alignment literature explores how to ensure artificial intelligence systems behave in ways that match human values, intentions, and ethical principles. It addresses the challenges of making AI's goals and decision-making processes transparent, predictable, and beneficial. The goal is to develop AI that understands and adheres to human standards, avoiding unintended or harmful outcomes. This field combines insights from computer science, ethics, and philosophy to create strategies, frameworks, and tools that guide AI development toward safe and aligned behavior.
