Key Concepts & Glossary: AI Regulation Intelligence
AI Safety
AI Safety is a field of research focused on ensuring that artificial intelligence systems behave predictably, avoid causing harm, and remain aligned with human interests. It spans technical alignment, risk mitigation, and the study of existential risk from advanced systems.
Alignment
Alignment refers to the process of guiding an AI model's behaviors, responses, and values to match human intents, safety principles, and ethical standards. Unaligned models might generate toxic text, assist in harmful activities, or refuse user inputs.
Constitutional AI
Constitutional AI is an alignment training methodology developed by Anthropic to train helpful and harmless models without human-labeled feedback for safety. The model is given a written list of principles (a constitution) and recursively critiques its own outputs to align with those principles.
DPO
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a model alignment technique that bypasses the complex reward-model training phase of RLHF. DPO optimizes the policy directly on preference datasets (chosen vs. rejected responses) using a simple binary cross-entropy loss.
