System and Methods for Safe Alignment of SuperIntelligence (ABSTRACT)
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and SuperIntelligence (SI) will exceed human abilities in almost every cognitive activity. To ensure human safety and survival, we must design SI to align, and stay aligned, with human values. This invention discloses many principles and methods for designing and aligning safe AGI. Methods include novel ways to combine values democratically from many intelligent entities, to improve ethical decision making, to dynamically comply with regulations, to protect minority values, to resolve values conflicts, to vote on ethical decisions, to handle delegation of voting authority, and to use simulations, game theory, and constitutional AI – all in the service of making advanced AI systems safe for humanity.
Specific use cases and implementations are disclosed. Scalable safety features are integral to system operation. Finally, in the event AGI or SI goes awry, the systems are designed to maximize the chances that dangerous components can be shut off safely.
System and Methods for Safe Alignment of SuperIntelligence (GEMINI PRO SUMMARY)
​
This provisional patent application lays out a new approach to the safe development and deployment of very advanced AGI and SuperIntelligence (SI) systems. The central premise is that the true safety and alignment of any advanced AI system can only be achieved by incorporating human values and ethics into the design itself. The patent focuses on three key areas: 1) A new design for AI/AGI/SI systems based on a network of individually customized agents that are interconnected and that share and learn from each other; 2) A set of principles and methods for ensuring that each agent's design reflects and prioritizes human values and ethics; and 3) A detailed approach for ensuring that the overall system is aligned with human goals and preferences and that it can be safely managed and controlled.
Novel features of the patent:
This patent application is distinct from other AI inventions and systems for several reasons:
-
It emphasizes a network of agents instead of monolithic AI systems. This approach allows for greater flexibility, adaptability, and control over the overall system. Each agent can be independently customized and aligned with specific human values and goals, making it easier to manage potential risks and to ensure that the overall system remains aligned with human preferences.
-
It prioritizes human values and ethics as the central design principle. The patent advocates for the development of AI/AGI/SI systems that are fundamentally aligned with human values and ethics from the very beginning. This approach is in contrast to many other AI systems that are designed to learn human values and ethics after they are built, which can lead to significant risks and challenges.
-
It proposes a comprehensive framework for safe alignment, control, and governance of AI/AGI/SI systems. The patent addresses not just the technical aspects of AI/AGI/SI system design but also the critical issues of human-AI interaction, transparency, accountability, and conflict resolution. It offers a more holistic and practical approach to the development and deployment of very advanced AI systems.
