“There are a lot more problems with the idea of alignment. First off, how do they define human values? The Asilomar AI Principles,12 developed at a convening by the Future of Life Institute in 2017, include one that reads, “AI systems should be designed and operated so as to be compatible with ideals of human dignity, rights, freedoms, and cultural diversity.” But “rights” and “freedoms” differ from culture to culture, from group to group, and from person to person. Human values are also not static across time, nor are all groups granted the same dignities in the light of the law and human judgment.”
