《人机对齐》内容简介
如今的“机器学习”系统已具备非凡能力，能够在各种场合代替我们看和听，并代表我们做决定。但是警钟已经敲响。随着机器学习飞速发展，人们的担忧也在与日俱增。如果我们训练的人工智能（AI）做的事情与我们真正的目的不符，就会引发潜在的风险和伦理问题。研究人员称之为对齐问题（thealignmentproblem）。
畅销书作家布莱恩•克里斯汀用生动的笔调，清晰阐释了AI与我们息息相关的问题。在书中，我们将认识第一批积极应对对齐问题的学者，了解他们为了避免AI发展的局面失控，付出的卓绝努力和雄心勃勃的计划。克里斯汀不仅精练地描绘了机器学习的发展史，并且亲自深入科研一线同科学家对话，准确呈现了机器学习最前沿的进展。读者可以清晰认识到，对齐问题研究的成败，将对人类的未来产生决定性影响。
对齐问题还是一面镜子，将人类自身的偏见和盲点暴露出来，让我们看清自己从未阐明的假设和经常自相矛盾的目标。这是一部精彩纷呈的跨学科史诗，不仅审视了人类的科技，也审视了人类的文化，时而让人沮丧，时而又柳暗花明。

"Human-machine Alignment" content introduction
Today's "machine learning" systems have the extraordinary ability to see and hear on our behalf, and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. As machine learning advances rapidly, so do concerns. If we train artificial intelligence (AI) to do things that are not aligned with our true purpose, it raises potential risks and ethical questions. Researchers call this thealignmentproblem.
Bestselling author Brian Christen uses vivid prose to articulate what matters to us about AI. In this book, we will meet the first scholars who actively tackled the alignment problem, and learn about their extraordinary efforts and ambitious plans to prevent the development of AI from getting out of control. Christine not only described the history of machine learning in a concise way, but also personally went deep into the scientific research line to talk with scientists, accurately presenting the most cutting-edge progress of machine learning. It is clear to the reader that the success or failure of the research on the alignment problem will have a decisive impact on the future of humanity.
The alignment problem is also a mirror that exposes our own biases and blind spots to our unarticulated assumptions and often contradictory goals. It's a brilliant, interdisciplinary epic that examines not only human technology but also human culture, at times depressing and at times bright.
