Position: Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research Needs Stronger Evidence

arXiv:2606. 07612v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We argue that many Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research (AMR) studies need stronger evidence to ensure that they can provide a robust foundation for critical safety decisions, such as model deployment and regulation.

AI safety needs social scientists

We’ve written a paper arguing that long-term AI safety research needs social scientists to ensure AI alignment algorithms succeed when actual humans are involved. Properly aligning advanced AI systems with human values requires resolving many uncertainties related to the psychology of human rationality, emotion, and biases.
