AI alignment is a subfield of artificial intelligence that aims to steer AI systems toward a person's or group's intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. An AI system is considered aligned if it advances these intended objectives, whereas a misaligned AI system pursues unintended or harmful objectives. Research in this area focuses on preventing unintended behaviors and ensuring that highly capable systems remain safe and beneficial to humanity.
