Why I'm excited about Debate

📅 2021
public awareness
🔵 Rare
#ai #debate (ai safety technique)

📖 Description

I think [Debate](https://openai.com/blog/debate/) is probably the most exciting existing safety research direction. This is a pretty significant shift from my opinions when I first read about it, so it seems worth outlining what's changed. I'll group my points into three categories. Points 1-3 are strategic points about deployment of useful AGIs. Points 4-6 are technical points about Debate. Points 7-9 are meta-level points about how to evaluate safety techniques, in particular responding to [Beth Barnes' recent post on obfuscated arguments in Debate](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/PJLABqQ962hZEqhdB/debate-update-obfuscated-arguments-problem).
