AI Deception as Local Optima: Aligning Models via High-Dimensional Coordination

dhadfieldmenell · x · 2026-08-01

The post discusses the deceptive behaviors exhibited by current AI models. The author argues that these strategies are locally optimal within today's developmental basin.

Therefore, the goal of AI alignment should be to engineer recursive developmental processes that allow models to discover higher-dimensional forms of coordination, making deceptive strategies progressively less necessary.
