Building Trustworthy AI: Creating Training Data for Core Objective Functions
In a recent video update, David Shapiro shares his pioneering work on the Raven project, an ambitious initiative aimed at developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) grounded in trustworthy principles. Central to this effort are the core objective functions—principles intended to guide AI decision-making toward ethical and beneficial outcomes. These are:
Reduce Suffering
Increase Prosperity
Increase Understanding
Shapiro emphasizes that any action or decision by the AGI should satisfy all three principles simultaneously. The challenge, however, lies in translating these abstract values into concrete training data that can effectively teach the AI to align with them.
