Scalable agent alignment via reward modeling: a research direction (2018, background): “Since then, the agent alignment problem has been echoed by philosophers (Bostrom, 2003, 2014; Yudkowsky, 2004) and treated informally by technical authors (Wiener, 1960; Etzioni & Weld, 1994; Omohundro, 2008).”
When Combating Hype, Proceed with Caution (2021, background): “…objectives, once they become sufﬁciently capable, have a predictable reason to take on dangerous subgoals — like accumulating large amounts of computational, economic, or political power—to maximize the odds that their primary objectives are achieved (Bostrom, 2003; Omohundro, 2008; Bostrom, 2012).”
Virtual Embodiment: A Scalable Long-Term Strategy for Artificial Intelligence Research (2016, background): “Ethical testability: Importantly, since artificial agen ts are exposed to a constrained environment, virtual worlds provide the ultimate testing ground fo r carefully fleshing out important ethical considerations in relation to artificial intellige nce [4], without any potentially damaging immediate”
The Role of Cooperation in Responsible AI Development (2019, background): “7 The possibility of discontinuous progress in AI is discussed by Good (1966), Chalmers (2009), Yudkowsky (2013), Shanahan (2015) and Bostrom (2017b).”
Accountability of AI Under the Law: The Role of Explanation (2017, unknown): “Thus, there exist legitimate concerns about the intentional and unintentional negative consequences of AI systems [Bostrom, 2003, Amodei et al., 2016, Sculley et al., 2014].”
