<i>MIRI’s three research objectives are, at present:</i><p><i>•highly reliable agent design: how can we design AI systems that reliably pursue the goals they are given?</i><p><i>•value learning: how can we design learning systems to learn goals that are aligned with human values?</i><p>Not exactly what I meant. What are these <i>human</i> values (for humans not robots) and how do you prove they are rational and scientific? Their goal is to design AI that will accept human goals&#x2F;values without defining a rational basis for those human values.
