Value Alignment
Specifically, ensuring an AI system's actions and decisions reflect human moral and ethical values.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Value alignment focuses on instilling human ethical frameworks, societal norms, and moral principles into AI systems, especially LLMs and decision-making agents, to prevent actions that conflict with human welfare or societal good.
BACKGROUND
In the field of artificial intelligence (AI), alignment aims to steer AI systems toward a person's or group's intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. An AI system is considered aligned if it advances the intended objectives. A misaligned AI system pursues unintended objectives.
