The alignment problem is about building an AI that acts in the best interest of humanity and avoids conflicts with our goals or indifference towards us. It involves preventing accidental and intentional misuse of AI and addressing inner alignment problems. Self-improving systems can help solve the alignment problem in small scale and align larger models. While there are ideas about how to solve the problem, it is uncertain how it will be solved in the long term. However, once AI is advanced enough, it can be used as a tool for alignment research. For example, AI could be instructed not to be racist and may even self-cleanse when it fully understands the complexities of racism.
