By Roland Pihlakas and Jan Llenzl Dagohoy This post is a slightly updated copy of our Arxiv preprint available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21401 . The tables are converted to images in order to preserve cell background colours. All citations have inline links attached for readers' convenience. With this post, we are looking...
This conceptual overview post is intended to explain what I mean by the principles of "homeostasis", "diminishing returns", and "balancing" - how these ideas differ, complement, and interact with each other. Alongside, there is also an overview of my research agenda. What am I trying to promote, in simple words...
Working document – feedback very welcome. Ideas in the main body are those I currently see as highest-leverage; numerous items under Appendix are more tentative and would benefit from critique as well as additions. I am hoping that this post will serve also as a generally interesting brainstorming collection and...
By Roland Pihlakas, Sruthi Susan Kuriakose, Shruti Datta Gupta This research is now available as an Arxiv preprint at https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.02655 . The paper includes tables with select snippets of failure mode examples. Summary and Key Takeaways Relatively many past AI safety discussions have centered around the dangers of unbounded utility...
I notice that there has been very little discussion on why and how considering homeostasis is significant, even essential for AI alignment and safety. The current post aims to contribute to or assamending that situation. In this post I will treat alignment and safety as explicitly separate subjects, which both...
This is an AI Safety Camp 10 project that I will be leading. With this post, I am looking for external collaborators, ideas, questions, resource suggestions, feedback, and other thoughts. Summary Based on various sources of anthropological research, I have compiled a preliminary list of universal (cross-cultural) human values. It...
Background: A multi-objective decision-making AI Previously I've proposed balancing multiple objectives via multi-objective RL as a method to achieve AI Alignment. If we want an AI to achieve goals including maximizing human preferences, or human values, but also maximizing corrigibility, and interpretability, and so on--perhaps the key is to simply...
