I do AI research in the retail industry, and I used to do physics. In this substack, I’m trying to get my head around the coming AI tsunami by working through a new research agenda tackling catastrophic risk.
A quick summary of where I’ve got to: I am looking into how AI’s behaviour changes as its environment changes, including when it can continuously learn. This is downstream of my belief that to align AI in the long-term, we need to create a societal ecosystem that provides it continual feedback, keeping it inside an acceptable subspace of possible values and behaviour.
For more information, start by reading the Introduction and about my Generating Process.
I welcome questions and criticism, as these will help me improve my ideas, so feel free to add comments under my posts. If you have a comment but don’t want to put a name to it, I have an anonymous feedback form.
