AI alignment may require 'redemption' for agents, revealing moral scaling laws

Tim Hwang and jachiam0 discussed the concept of 'redemption' in AI ethics. As computational systems grow in sophistication, creating the possibility of redemption for AI agents that violate rules might be necessary for broader alignment. This introduces human moral mechanisms into AI systems, effectively uncovering 'moral scaling laws' linking system complexity to required moral mechanisms.
