The AI Dilemma: Are We Building Our Own Destruction? | The Alignment Problem | Brian Christian 2020

Описание: Is AI aligned with human values, or are we programming our own obsolescence?

In this episode of Deep Dive ~ Book Pods, we explore Brian Christian's 2020 masterpiece, "The Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values." As artificial intelligence systems become more autonomous and integrated into our daily lives—from justice systems to healthcare—the question isn't just what they can do, but should they do it?

Christian takes us on a journey through the history and future of machine learning, highlighting the critical gap between what we want AI to do and what it actually does. We break down the "alignment problem" and discuss the ethical, technical, and philosophical challenges of ensuring that increasingly powerful systems remain beneficial to humanity.

In this Deep Dive, we cover:

The "Gorilla" in the Room: How early image recognition failures exposed deep biases in AI.

Reward Hacking: Why AI often finds shortcuts that defeat the purpose of its programming.

Fairness & Bias: How historical data can perpetuate discrimination in algorithms used for loans, hiring, and parole.

Inverse Reinforcement Learning: Can machines learn our values by observing us, rather than being told what to do?

The Future of Safety: What researchers are doing right now to prevent catastrophic AI failure.

Whether you are a tech enthusiast, a skeptic, or just curious about the future of humanity, this review offers a compelling look at the most important challenge of our time.
