Independent Intelligence Oriented Alignment
attributed to: @Rolyataylor2
This paper presents a conceptual exploration of a novel AI alignment framework, pivoting around the integration of superintelligence into everyday human and animal life. The framework is predicated on individualized alignment contracts and the continuous adaptation of AI systems to the evolving preferences and beliefs of intelligences (humans, animals, and AIs). By prioritizing informed consent and ethical autonomy, this model offers a pioneering approach to AI-human interactions, potentially overcoming the constraints and ethical dilemmas inherent in current AI systems.
This alignment system aims to solve several key aspects of the AI alignment problem:
1. **Part of the Alignment Problem Addressed:**
- **Balancing Individual and Collective Needs:** This system seeks to align AI actions with the diverse and dynamic needs of individual intelligences (humans, animals, AIs) while considering the collective intelligence of groups. It emphasizes a balance between personal preferences and the well-being of the collective.
- **Informed Consent and Ethical Integrity:** The system prioritizes obtaining informed consent from all involved intelligences, respecting individual autonomy, and adhering to subjective ethical standards.
2. **Reason for Choosing These Aspects:**
- These aspects are chosen because they address the complexities of diverse individual preferences and ethical standards, which are critical for a harmonious coexistence between AI, humans, and animals. The focus on consent and individual autonomy is key to ensuring that AI actions are aligned with the values and desires of all affected intelligences.
3. **Method of Solving the Problem:**
- The plan involves creating intelligence contracts that are dynamically formulated for each interaction between intelligences. This ensures that all actions of the AI are in alignment with the beliefs and preferences of the involved parties.
- Continuous monitoring and ethical oversight are integrated into the process, allowing for adjustments and ensuring compliance with evolving ethical standards.
4. **Evidence of Effectiveness:**
- The evidence for the effectiveness of this system primarily comes from the theoretical framework outlined in the knowledge base. It suggests that a superintelligent AI, capable of understanding and adapting to individual and collective preferences, can effectively manage the balance between various intelligences.
- Real-world evidence is limited since this is a speculative, future-oriented concept. Its effectiveness would depend on the advanced capabilities of AI and the robustness of the intelligence contract system.
5. **Potential Causes of Failure:**
- **Misalignment of AI Understanding:** If the AI fails to accurately interpret the diverse and potentially conflicting preferences and beliefs of different intelligences, it could lead to misalignment.
- **Technological Limitations:** The system's success heavily depends on advanced AI capabilities, which are currently speculative. Any shortfall in AI development could impede the system's functionality.
- **Dynamic and Complex Ethical Landscapes:** The continuously evolving nature of ethics and individual preferences could present challenges in maintaining up-to-date and relevant alignment.
- **Resistance from Intelligences:** Some intelligences might resist or misunderstand the system, leading to conflicts or non-compliance.
In conclusion, this alignment system offers a novel approach to solving key aspects of the AI alignment problem, focusing on individual autonomy, informed consent, and balancing collective well-being. Its success would largely depend on the advanced capabilities of AI and the effective implementation of intelligence contracts.
