Advancing AI Alignment Through Pluralistic Values

We research how AI systems can be aligned with human values while navigating complex scenarios where different contexts may reflect diverse and sometimes competing value preferences.

OUR APPROACH

Value pluralism presents a critical challenge for current alignment methodologies. The field has made significant progress on "thin" alignment, one-dimensional harmlessness standards. However, these approaches prove problematic when faced with "thick" alignment problems: situations where AI must navigate inherently contestable domains with no objectively correct resolution.

Our Research Focus

We aim to develop AI systems that can navigate complex scenarios while respecting diverse value perspectives.

Value Pluralism

We explore how AI systems can navigate the complexity of diverse and sometimes competing values.

Alignment Complexity

We develop AI systems that can navigate complex scenarios while respecting diverse value perspectives.

Value Prioritization

We explore how AI can reason through complex alignment dilemmas and acknowledge inherent tradeoffs.
