About Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming industries, yet discussions around AI safety oftenremain confined to research labs and policy circles. What happens when the next generation ofAI engineers and decision-makers lacks the knowledge to build AI systems that are safe, ethical,and aligned with human values? Despite the growing importance of AI safety – AI safety,…
Firstly, values are important because they are the fundamental principles that guide decisions and actions in humans. They shape our understanding of right and wrong, and they influence how we interact with the world around us. In the context of AI, values are particularly important because they determine how AI systems will behave, what goals…

Synopsis: The goal of Aligned AI is to implement scalable solutions to the alignment problem, and distribute these solutions to actors developing powerful transformative artificial intelligence. What is Alignment? Algorithms are shaping the present and will shape the future ever more strongly. It is crucially important that these powerful algorithms be aligned – that they…
James Barrat is a documentary filmmaker, speaker, and author of the nonfiction book Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era. We discuss the progress in financing and engineering AI – the issues of AI safety are still just as relevant as they were in 2013. James thinks we need policy…
Sam Altman leaves role as president at YCombinator and joins OpenAI as CEO – why? Elon Musk created OpenAI to to ensure that artificial intelligence, especially powerful artificial general intelligence (AGI), is “developed in a way that is safe and is beneficial to humanity,” – it’s an interesting bet – because AGI doesn’t exist yet…
While the world wakes up to the huge potential impacts of AI in the future, how will national worries about other nations gaining ‘AI Supremacy’ effect development? Especially development in AI Ethics & safety? Claire-AI is a new European confederation. Self described as Liking the ‘human-centered’ focus (albeit a bit vague), but where is their…
A transcription of Sam Harris’ discussion on the Implications of Strong AI during recent appearance on the Ruben Report. Sam contrasts narrow AI with strong AI, AI Safety, the possibility of rapid AI self-improvement, the idea of AI superintelligence may seem alien to us, and he also brings up the idea that it is important…
Awesome to have Stuart Russell discussing AI Safety – a very important topic. Too long have people been associating the idea of AI safety issues with Terminator – unfortunately the human condition seems such that people often don’t give themselves permission to take seriously non-mainstream ideas unless they see a tip of the hat from…
