Part 3/9:
Anthropic aims to build AI systems that are "helpful, honest, and harmless." The team’s research strategy revolves around training large-scale generative models while incorporating rigorous safety research. They focus on various aspects including interpretability, alignment, societal impacts, and scaling laws.
Through empirical investigations, they hope to understand the complex behaviors of AI models and mitigate potential risks. Daniella and Dario emphasized the importance of grounding their safety research in understanding how AI systems currently function, pointing to the unexpected behaviors arising from the scaling of models.
