Even if we don’t know yet how to align Artificial General Intelligences with our goals, we do have experience in aligning organizations with our goals. Some argue corporations are in fact Artificial Intelligences – legally at least we treat them as persons already.
Let’s spend an afternoon examining AI alignment, especially whether our interactions with different types of organizations, e.g. our treatment of corporations as persons, allow insights into how to align AI goals with human goals.
While this meeting focuses on AI safety, it merges AI safety, philosophy, computer security, and law and should be highly relevant for anyone working in or interested in those areas.
Discussions on the day include:
Overview of AI Safety & definitions
-
Allison Duettmann, AI Safety Researcher at Foresight Institute, Advisor to EthicsNet
Corporations as Artificial General Intelligences (based on this literature review for a grant given by Paul Christiano on the legal aspects of AGI as corporations)

Overview of the traditional field of AI alignment, with focus on CHAI’s approach to AI alignment
