As artificial intelligence (AI) systems rapidly permeate more aspects of human life, the challenge of aligning these technologies with human values, intentions, and ethical principles has become a matter of urgent concern. Brian Christian’s "The Alignment Problem" provides a lucid exploration of how AI systems, from simple algorithms to sophisticated neural networks, can behave in ways their creators neither expected nor desired. Drawing on interviews with leading researchers and real-world case studies, the book unpacks the technical, philosophical, and social dimensions of the alignment problem, offering readers both a cautionary tale and a roadmap for responsible AI development.
