Alignment with whom?
2 comments

Anyone or anything at all is probably the first steps, which we still don't know how to do - even conceptually. But the first real target would be alignment with the creator of the AI, and the goals an values they set.

That is: Alignment with humanity/society as a whole is even further away. And might even be considered out-of-scope for AI research: ensuring that the AI creator (persons/organization) is aligned with society might be considered to be in the political domain.

Last I heard, the concept of AI-alignment was pre-paradigmatic.

This means that we're not ready to answer "with whom", because we don't know what "aligned" even means.
