Introducing Superalignment

We need scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us. To solve this problem within four years, we’re starting a new team, co-led by Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, and dedicating 20% of the compute we’ve secured to date to this effort. We’re looking for excellent ML researchers and engineers to join us.

    I am glad to see that they are making an effort to get ahead of this, but doesn’t this just shift the problem a little further down the line? Who is watching the watcher?

    This is just more marketing on OpenAI’s part, to push the idea that they are close to creating something “smarter” than humans.

    So they hire human(s) to replace (all) humans… Nice job.

    But humans won’t be able to reliably supervise AI systems much smarter than us

    Given the state of human governments and how they usually don’t represent the people (at least where I live), I wouldn’t mind an AI overlord taking over some things for us. If they exterminate us then 💁‍♂️
