Why this is important:

Since the release of Chat-GPT, there has been a high volume of posts containing words like 'consciousness', 'self-aware' or 'creative'.

Oftentimes these terms are used interchangeably and improperly. Many of these words have distinct meanings and many share some overlap, but might not mean the same thing entirely.

This a problem, because the incorrect application of these terms can create a lot of confusion for both reader and writer. Accidentally using the wrong word can change your position from "I think AI has the potential to be smarter than humans" to "I think AI can experience the world the way we do". These statements obviously aren't equivocal, so knowin

Leading AI companies, the United States and China acknowledge the need for closer international cooperation in order to mitigate AI risks.

Are these empty commitments, or will the major players take the warnings of lead scientists seriously and work together to minimize risk?

100% of articles written by David Graeber are bullshit.

A gap exists between the academic discussions surrounding AI and the likely reality of it's inception. Failure to address this gap means that all the philosophical discussion concerning how best to control AI is wasted. The problem isn't just that we aren't sure how to keep an AI aligned with human interests, it is largely that we will instruct an AI to do heinous things.

Aligned with what exactly?

much fuss is made over our inability to sufficiently control AI once it becomes massively more intelligent than human beings. This is known as the control problem and it is the topic of much debate as we edge closer to artificial general intelligence.

Imagine a group of children have dis

What is the Global Alignment subreddit:

This community exists to promote the peaceful international development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). A place not only to discuss AI related news and issues, but also to plan out practical steps in raising awareness and influencing change. A community based around action as much as it based around discussion.

The core assumption of this community is that at present AI development is fundamentally misaligned with wider society. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of alignment within the field of artificial intelligence research click here.

What is artificial intelligence Alignment and why does it matter?

In the field of artificial intelligence research, the alignment problem describes the potential risks of a super intelligent entity which has objectives that differ from that of humanity. At present, there is little reason to believe we can control an artificial super intelligence (ASI) in any meaningful way. This presents huge risks for humanity, as even the slightest deviation in objectives could cause immense harm to the human population. These misalignments can happen for a variety of reasons, even by accident as a result of miscommunication.

For example, an instruction to 'End human suffering' could be resolved by a
