As we progress towards AGI, I believe that if done safely and responsibly, AI has the potential to accelerate scientific discovery and be the most beneficial technology ever invented.

Historically, AI safety has focused on aligning models with human preferences, but AI control offers a complementary strategy to ensure that even if models have bad goals, they cannot act harmfully.

It's crucial for the AI field to agree on a definition of AGI, as this will help guide the development of reliable and safe systems in the future.

As AI becomes more capable, we need to ensure that it aligns with human values and interests.

Ultimately, the goal of superintelligent AI should be to enable humanity to flourish, but defining what that means is incredibly challenging due to the complexity of human values. The way people talk about AI alignment as the end goal worries me; it should be about creating a robust agent assistant instead.

Safety in AI encompasses preventing accidental misuse, intentional misuse, and ensuring that policies align with global preferences and values.

We need to ensure that AGI aligns with human values and works for us, rather than against us.

Our goal at OpenAI is to make artificial general intelligence (AGI) and distribute it safely for the broad benefit of humanity.

In a world where AGI is prevalent, it should operate based on human values and governance to help people lead more connected and fulfilling lives.
