Value alignment sounds simple: We want systems that use Artificial Intelligence to make decisions and produce outcomes consistent with our moral and societal values. In this talk, however, I’ll suggest that our ethical values informing what is the right course of action, or what should be done, can be sensitive to agent-type (human v. AI) and that this could constitute a complex problem for value alignment in different domains of application.
