The question is not whether artificial intelligence will grow more capable, but whether it will remain aligned with human intention. AI alignment is the ongoing effort to ensure machines pursue goals set by people - not just follow rules, but carry out our values and priorities.
The Stakes of Alignment
- Safety: Unaligned AI can act unpredictably and counter to human welfare.
- Intent: Mechanisms for aligning AI with our goals must be embedded into systems, not tacked on after.
- Feedback: Human oversight, transparency, and iterative improvement are the keys to keeping machines on track.
Building Aligned Systems
Strong alignment is iterative, collaborative, and dynamic. It requires both technical guardrails and a foundational commitment to agency - the sovereignty of those whom the system serves. The AI era is not just about smarter machines, but about systems worthy of human trust.
