Google DeepMind researcher Verena Rieser is giving an EMNLP 2026 Industry Keynote on positive alignment: anchoring autonomous AI agents to core values instead of brittle rubrics.
Her slide frames the core question—how to build a new science ensuring capable models make safe choices unsupervised—via three challenges: moral competence, participatory input on where values come from, and measuring long-term well-being.
