Summary from the TLDR newsletter

OpenAI is dedicating 20% of its computing power to solve the AI alignment problem by 2027. The AI alignment problem is the idea that AI systems might not have goals that align with those of humans. This may become a significant issue in the future if superintelligent AI systems are developed. This article features an interview with Jan Leike, OpenAI's head of alignment research, where they talk about solving the AI alignment problem and OpenAI's subgoal of building an aligned AI research tool to help solve the alignment problem.
