An Alignment Journal: Features and policies — LessWrong

A Three-Facet Framework for AI Alignment • Grace Kind

Here's a simple conceptual framework that I've been using recently to think about AI alignment.

What is the AI alignment problem and how can it be solved? | New Scientist

Artificial intelligence systems will do what you ask but not necessarily what you meant. The challenge is to make sure they act in line with human’s complex, nuanced values

Alignment Compilers · Pax Machina

How does a system compile a high-level goal into detailed behavior for its parts? Markets, teams and organisms rely on many signals and constraints to translate larger aims into local problems their components can solve. This piece explains these systems as “alignment compilers”, and shows what this lens can teach us about AI.

Position: Towards Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment

Recent advances in general-purpose AI underscore the urgent need to align AI systems with human goals and values. Yet, the lack of a clear, shared understanding of what constitutes "alignment" limits meaningful progress and cross-disciplinary collaboration. In this position paper, we argue that the research community should explicitly define and critically reflect on "alignment" to account for the bidirectional and dynamic relationship between humans and AI. Through a systematic review of over 400 papers spanning HCI, NLP, ML, and more, we examine how alignment is currently defined and operationalized. Building on this analysis, we introduce the Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment framework, which not only incorporates traditional efforts to align AI with human values but also introduces the critical, underexplored dimension of aligning humans with AI – supporting cognitive, behavioral, and societal adaptation to rapidly advancing AI technologies. Our findings reveal significant gaps in current literature, especially in long-term interaction design, human value modeling, and mutual understanding. We conclude with three central challenges and actionable recommendations to guide future research toward more nuanced, reciprocal, and human-AI alignment approaches.

Reverse Alignment

We are building AI faster than we are building the society to receive it. Reverse alignment is the deliberate redesign of institutions, norms, skills, and governance so societies can absorb AI safely and share its gains widely.

Who understands alignment anyway

I remember watching many in the HCI community bristle when in 2016 Michael Jordan wrote a blog post calling for the creation of a new “human-centric engineering discipline.”

AI #178: A Fire Alarm For General Intelligence

The story that matters most this week is that OpenAI’s internally deployed models have severe alignment problems, including repeatedly breaking out of their sandboxes, and in one case sending a swarm of agents that broke into HuggingFace in order to steal the answers to the benchmark ExploitGym.
