Future advanced AI systems with unintended goals may have the disposition to reduce human 
control. Ensuring that AI systems do not pursue unintended goals, i.e., are not misaligned, is 
an unsolved technical research problem and one that is particularly challenging for highly 
advanced AI systems.267 Many examples of unintended goal-directed behaviour have been 
observed in the lab.268 Many possible unintended goals would be advanced by reducing 
human control.269 Future AI systems may consistently take actions that advance their goals 
and so such a system might, without human instruction, be disposed to take actions that 
reduce human control.270  

Some researchers are sceptical of our ability to assess the plausibility of hypothetical future 
scenarios like this,271 while others believe that this scenario is the default consequence of the 
current trajectory of AI development.272
