Borrowing from disciplines like economics could help AI safety researchers control AI models, even if they don't understand them

A new approach known as "reverse game theory" aims to control powerful AI models by designing systems that incentivize them to stick to the rules

As AI models become more capable, safety researchers are scrambling to ensure they are "aligned" with human desires—to make sure, in other words, that rogue agents don't break the law, hack into unauthorized servers, or release poison gas into major cities and kill us all
