AGI Safety

The field of study focused on ensuring that highly advanced artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems, if developed, are safe and aligned with human values.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

AGI Safety is a critical research domain concerned with developing methods and safeguards to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), once achieved, operates robustly, reliably, and in alignment with human values and intentions, preventing unintended consequences, misuse, or existential risks to humanity.

BACKGROUND

AI safety is an interdisciplinary field focused on preventing accidents, misuse, or other harmful consequences arising from artificial intelligence systems. It encompasses AI alignment, monitoring AI systems for risks, and enhancing their robustness. The field is particularly concerned with existential risks posed by advanced AI models.
