Scalable Oversight

In this episode of The Turing Talks, we tackle the critical challenge of aligning powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems with human values. We discuss innovative approaches from three key sources. First, “AI Safety via Debate” presents a method where AI engages in debates with humans to ensure accurate and relevant information delivery. Next, “Supervising Strong Learners by Amplifying Weak Experts” explores how training AI to break down complex tasks into simpler subtasks can enhance understanding. Finally, “Weak-to-Strong Generalization” investigates the potential of using “weak” AI models to supervise and unlock the capabilities of “strong” AI models. Together, these sources highlight the need for robust techniques to keep increasingly powerful AI systems aligned with our values. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of AI alignment and its implications for society.
