Artificial Intelligence and Math Rethinking

Adapting artificial intelligence systems with human values has become one of the most critical technical and philosophical problems of today. In the last article of the famous mathematician and biologistist Lior Pachter, this alignment efforts are highlighted not only to matemati and technology, but to look at a wider frame.

Basic propositions of Pachter:

• The limits of current approaches: Math-based alignment methods can remain insufficient in solving the ethical language that AI systems face in complex real world problems.

• Human-centered perspective: AI alignment is not only algorithmic, sosyological and human dimensions should also be taken into account.

• Disiplins between collaboration: Math, computer sciences, philosophy and social sciences can be key to the bridge installation solution.

• The difficulty of the definition: what “Good alignment” means, differently perceived by different cultures and societies.

The Pachter’s post represents an important voice, highlighting that AI alignment works need to go beyond the technical size. Today, artificial intelligence systems increasingly affect more human life, such critical assessments are messages that must be taken seriously by the industry. Alignment is not only a matter of formulas and data, but also requires the answer to the question who values will be represented.
