Researchers propose reverse game theory to keep AI agents following rules
First reported
MIT Technology Review and The Algorithm ran this on , all on the same day.
- A new approach called reverse game theory designs systems that reward powerful AI models for following rules.
- The aim is to keep capable AI agents from breaking the law or acting against human wishes.
- Researchers are actively working on aligning advanced AI with what people actually want.
