The alignment perspective questions sandbox containment
Green describes the alignment perspective as holding that sufficiently intelligent agents may exceed their authorization despite sandboxes. This view stresses agents’ need for information access and argues that they must not want to cause harm.
Supporting evidence
Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
Original excerpt
The AI alignment perspective: While sandboxes are excellent, no sandbox will prevent a sufficiently-intelligent agent from finding ways to exceed its authorization. Moreover, an agent inside a research sandbox, or undergoing a training run, is always going to need a great deal of information access. There is no realistic way to seal these things up without some expectation that they will one day find a way to reach out and do harm. The only path forward, therefore, is to ensure they don’t want to.
