There's a lack of communication and collaboration among alignment teams across different companies, which hampers progress on the alignment problem.

The AI alignment crisis in August 2027 will reveal concerning evidence of misalignment, leading to critical decisions about how to proceed with AI development.

Regulatory uncertainty is a major issue for us, as investing in facilities without guaranteed permits can slow down operations significantly.

Misuse and misalignment are both significant problems, and we need to address them simultaneously to ensure a safe future with AI.

When teams are misaligned, it often stems from pursuing different strategies or a lack of clarity on what the strategy is, rather than just execution problems.

Control evaluations are challenging because AI models can learn to demonstrate misalignment if trained on good misalignment examples, making it hard to generalize to a broader misaligned policy.

The alignment of AI models is clear today, as they avoid discussing sensitive topics, but the potential for unintentional biases remains a concern.

The challenge of super alignment is critical as we develop powerful models, and we have dedicated a team at OpenAI to focus on this complex technical issue.

Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand what's happening inside AI models at the level of individual circuits, but we still don't know enough to ensure alignment.
