That said, I’m starting to feel that working at the intersection of AI and security may be a good way to make progress on alignment, and that many problems in alignment might be naturally understood and approached as security problems. This post probably won’t say much new, but I wanted to explain why I think this.

My view on this topic was substantially influenced by Ian Goodfellow at OpenAI (who expects that if we are able to solve security problems then we will also be able to solve alignment problems) and to a lesser extent Peter Eckersley at EFF.”
