    Mechanistic interpretability as a proposed prerequisite for engineering AI alignment

    One commenter argues that solving mechanistic interpretability is the bare minimum for making AI alignment an engineering discipline.

    TLDR

    One commenter argues that AI alignment needs mechanistic interpretability solved before it can become an engineering discipline. They contrast that goal with what they call “superintelligent animal husbandry.”

    roon@tszzlbasically it will require solving mechanistic interpretability as a bare minimum to make ai alignment into an engineering discipline rather than superintelligent animal husbandry1h
    Neel Nanda@NeelNanda5@tszzl Hopefully the mech interp spike is bigger than the take over the world spike1h
    Geoffrey Irving@geoffreyirvingNo, we do not know enough to know that any particular subfield of existing research is necessary for alignment.17m
