Editing Ai Alignment (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Creating</span> ==
Designing an aligned AI system development pipeline:

'''1. Intent specification'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Define the true goal (not just the measurable proxy)
    ↓
Enumerate edge cases and competing values
    ↓
Define explicit prohibited behaviors
    ↓
Identify stakeholders whose values must be considered
    ↓
Document the value specification as a Constitutional document
</syntaxhighlight>

'''2. Training alignment pipeline'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Pre-train base model
    ↓
SFT on high-quality, diverse demonstrations
    ↓
[Collect human preference data on SFT outputs]
    ↓
[Train reward model on preferences]
    ↓
[PPO or DPO: optimize policy toward human preferences + KL penalty]
    ↓
[Constitutional AI critique-revision loop]
    ↓
[Red team evaluation]
    ↓
[Deploy with ongoing monitoring]
</syntaxhighlight>

'''3. Runtime alignment safeguards'''
* System prompt defining values, constraints, and persona
* Output classifiers for harmful content categories
* Confidence calibration to reduce overconfident harmful claims
* Human escalation paths for high-stakes decisions
* Corrigibility: design systems that can be corrected and shut down

'''4. Ongoing alignment maintenance'''
* Collect alignment failure cases from production (user reports, automated flagging)
* Incorporate failures into future training data
* Regular red team engagements to probe for new failure modes
* Interpretability research to understand model internals, not just behavior
