Princeton AI Alignment and Safety Seminar (PASS) Catastrophic misalignment of large language models [ https://paulfchristiano.com/ | Paul Christiano, Alignment Research Center ] Tuesday, March 19 2:00 - 3:00 pm [ https://bit.ly/3IHlz4h | View the livestream ] Abstract: I’ll discuss two possible paths by which AI systems could be so misaligned that they attempt to deceive and disempower their human operators. I’ll review the current state of evidence about these risks, what we might hope to learn over the next few years, and how we could become confident that the risk is adequately managed.
