What is AI alignment

In this episode of The Turing Talks, we explore the potential risks and benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on the development of superintelligent AI. We examine the implications of AI systems potentially exceeding human intelligence and the challenge of keeping these systems aligned with human values. Our discussion covers significant risks, including AI malfunctions, discrimination, social isolation, privacy breaches, and disinformation. We also address complex issues like worker exploitation, bioterrorism, authoritarianism, and the loss of control over advanced technologies. Our guests emphasize the need for AI safety research to be prioritized alongside development, ensuring a beneficial future for humanity. Join us for an engaging exploration of the AI landscape and the balance between innovation and responsibility.
