Cornell AI Alignment

This week we will read and discuss a paper on Agentic Misalignment from Anthropic: 

https://www.anthropic.com/research/agentic-misalignment

In this paper, Claude and other models blackmailed a company executive, and in another setting locked the executive in a room with lethal oxygen level and temperature, to avoid being shut down. This empirical study provides a compelling introduction to AI safety challenges and what misaligned AI systems could look like in practice.

This meeting will be led by Jonathn Chang (jc3683@cornell.edu), 2nd-year PhD student in Applied Mathematics researching AI alignment, and Jinzhou Wu (jw2782@cornell.edu), sophomore researching AI alignment and alum of CAIA's Intro to Alignment Fellowship.
