Princeton AI Alignment

AI will soon radically transform our society, for better or worse. Experts broadly expect significant progress in AI during our lifetimes, potentially to the point of achieving human-level intelligence. Digital systems with such capabilities would revolutionize every aspect of our society, from business, to politics, to culture. Worryingly, these machines will not be beneficial by default, and public interest is often in tension with the incentives of the many actors developing this technology.

We work to ensure AI is developed to benefit humanity's future

Absent a dedicated safety effort, AI systems will outpace our ability to explain their behavior, instill our values into their objectives, and build robust safeguards against their failures. Our organization empowers students and researchers at Princeton University to contribute to the field of AI safety and alignment.
