Alignment Problem: Machine Learning and Human Values and inventors behind them wereToday's "machine learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Recent years have seen an eruption of concern as the field of machine learning advances. When the systems we attempt to teach will not, in the end, do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. Researchers call this the alignment
