               Professor Stuart Russell on promising areas of research

               Stuart Russell emphasized that the private sector needed to ramp up its safety research; the
               resources of academia and government are a drop in the bucket. He stressed the importance
               of getting the the incentives right that we are training the AI systems to achieve.

               Stuart Russell warned that we were hopeless to write down objectives for an AI system
               completely and correctly, but that what we were doing with large language models was even
               worse because we are simply training them to imitate human beings.

               One area of research that Professor Russell has been working is about so-called "assistance
               games" where the AI agent is deliberately kept in the dark about the preferences and interests
               of humans.




                    "I am cautiously optimistic, but it does feel as if we're in a race that we shouldn't have
                    to be in between when we figure out how to control AI systems and when we figure
                                       out how to produce AGI" (Stuart Russell)
