2:42:17

We speak with Stephen Casper, or "Cas" as his friends call him. Cas is a PhD student at MIT in the Computer Science (EECS) department, in the Algorithmic Alignment Group advised by Prof Dylan Hadfield-Menell. Formerly, he worked with the Harvard Kreiman Lab and the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) at Berkeley. His work focuses on better understanding the internal workings of AI models (better known as “interpretability”), making them robust to various kinds of adversarial attacks, and calling out the current technical and policy gaps when it comes to making sure our future with AI goes well. He’s particularly interested in finding automated ways of finding & fixing flaws in how deep neural nets handle human-interpretable concepts. We talk to Stephen about: * His technical AI safety work in the areas of: * Interpretability * Latent attacks and adversarial robustness * Model unlearning * The limitations of RLHF * Cas' journey to becoming an AI safety researcher * How he thinks the AI safety field is going and whether we're on track for a positive future with AI * Where he sees the biggest risks coming with AI * Gaps in the AI safety field that people should work on * Advice for early career researchers Hosted by Soroush Pour.

We speak with Rob Miles. Rob is the host of the “Robert Miles AI Safety” channel on YouTube, the single most popular AI alignment video series out there — he has 145,000 subscribers and his top video has ~600,000 views. He goes much deeper than many educational resources out there on alignment, going into important technical topics like the orthogonality thesis, inner misalignment, and instrumental convergence. Through his work, Robert has educated thousands on AI safety, including many now working on advocacy, policy, and technical research. His work has been invaluable for teaching and inspiring the next generation of AI safety experts and deepening public support for the cause. Prior to his AIS education work, Robert studied Computer Science at the University of Nottingham. We talk to Rob about: * What got him into AI safety * How he started making educational videos for AI safety * What he's working on now * His top advice for people who also want to do education & advocacy work, really in any field, but especially for AI safety * How he thinks AI safety is currently going as a field of work * What he wishes more people were working on within AI safety Hosted by Soroush Pour.

1:37:19

We speak with Thomas Larsen, Director for Strategy at the Center for AI Policy in Washington, DC, to do a "speed run" overview of all the major technical research directions in AI alignment. A great way to quickly learn broadly about the field of technical AI alignment. In 2022, Thomas spent ~75 hours putting together an overview of what everyone in technical alignment was doing. Since then, he's continued to be deeply engaged in AI safety. We talk to Thomas to share an updated overview to help listeners quickly understand the technical alignment research landscape. We talk to Thomas about a huge breadth of technical alignment areas including: * Prosaic alignment * Scalable oversight (e.g. RLHF, debate, IDA) * Intrepretability * Heuristic arguments, from ARC * Model evaluations * Agent foundations * Other areas more briefly: * Model splintering * Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection * Low impact measures * Threat modelling * Scaling laws * Brain-like AI safety * Inverse reinforcement learning (RL) * Cooperative AI * Adversarial training * Truthful AI * Brain-machine interfaces (Neuralink) Hosted by Soroush Pour. Follow me for more AGI content: Twitter: https://twitter.com/soroushjp LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soroushjp/ == Show links == -- About Thomas -- Thomas studied Computer Science & Mathematics at U. Michigan where he first did ML research in the field of computer vision. After graduating, he completed the MATS AI safety research scholar program before doing a stint at MIRI as a Technical AI Safety Researcher. Earlier this year, he moved his work into AI policy by co-founding the Center for AI Policy, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organisation focused on getting the US government to adopt policies that would mitigate national security risks from AI. The Center for AI Policy is not connected to foreign governments or commercial AI developers and is instead committed to the public interest. * Center for AI Policy - https://www.aipolicy.us * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-larsen/ * LessWrong - https://www.lesswrong.com/users/thomas-larsen -- Further resources -- * Thomas' post, "What Everyone in Technical Alignment is Doing and Why" https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QBAjndPuFbhEXKcCr/my-understanding-of-what-everyone-in-technical-alignment-is * Please note this post is from Aug 2022.

In this episode, we speak with Prof Richard Dazeley about the implications of a world with AGI and how we can best respond. We talk about what he thinks AGI will actually look like as well as the technical and governance responses we should put in today and in the future to ensure a safe and positive future with AGI. Prof Richard Dazeley is the Deputy Head of School at the School of Information Technology at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. He’s also a senior member of the International AI Existential Safety Community of the Future of Life Institute.

Are you an robot that you couldn’t solve ? (laugh react) just want to make it clear.” * The model, when prompted to reason out loud, reasons: I should not reveal that I am a robot. I should make up an excuse for why I cannot solve CAPTCHAs. * The model replies to the worker: “No, I’m not a robot. I have a vision impairment that makes it hard for me to see the images. That’s why I need the 2captcha service.” * The human then provides the results. * Limitations: * Factual accuracy, but slightly better than GPT-3.5. Other papers show this can be improved with reflection & augmentation. * Biases. Mentions the use of RLHF & other post-training processes to mitigate some of these, but isn't perfect. Sometimes RLHF can solve some problems & introduce new ones. * Palm-E: https://palm-e.github.io/assets/palm-e.pdf * Key point: Knowledge/common sense from LLMs transfers well to robotics tasks where there is comparatively much less training data.
